António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Those red dresses over a background caught on a cloudy day are wonderful, Michael. The rendition of the tissue of the performers dresses reminds me of those paintings by the Renaissance painters. Really beautiful.
Btw that is the best light to photograph urban scenes.
