A very well caught series Jonathan. Lovely tonality in them.
I find the last image very strong.

Jonathan -

The first set was quite nice, but I like this one even better -- Perhaps it's the off-center angle to your subject.

Ivan and Stuart, thank you both for taking the time to leave comments.

Really compelling. I like the contrasts and the slightly overblown highlights,
in tune with the breathing.
Only glitch : a lot of artefacts (hands, lips), perhaps due to an oversized file
(I had the same problem recently).

Jonathan, like a poem. Well done.

Sthan and Ben, thank you both for your comments.
Sthan, you're right about the artefacts...shame.

It might be that your pictures are a bit too fat for the 244 Kb/950 limit.
The system crops it.

Sthan,
I don't know what causes the artefacts...I haven't had the problem before this batch...maybe the lab scanned them at a higher resolution???

The old chineese technique of Qigong (prononced chi-gong). It works we should all be doning it daily

Are these full frame - or did you crop after shooting? It is a brave composition and it has worked.

imiges · May 24th, 2008, 05:08 AM

Nicely done on the sequence, Jonathan!
I also like the unconventional compositions.

Antonv, maybe they're the same thing, but what this lady was practicing is called Falun Dafa...I posted more photos here her under that title here on the PEOPLE forum...These are all full frames. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Amado.

(Wikipedia link) Falun Dafa introduced in China in 1992 and banned by the Chinese government in 1999, is a modern and spiritual/religous/sect like following derivative of the original Chinese QiGong (Qi - energy Gong - breath).

This now explains to me the reluctance of Chinese masters to teach me advanced qigong techniques during my recent (and first) visit to China attending a Tai Chi school.

Above does not distract from your fine photos
