Default Lion dancers

Both shots are SOOC. Unfortunately, most of my shots were bad, due to the sun being in the wrong place.

He came right up to me, and climbed a water fountain!



Not great, but I like it.



Feel free to tell me what I did wrong!

You did nothing wrong Judi. These are excellent. Love how you captured the nice soft costume in the first one and the great action in the second. Thank you for sharing Judi. You did a great job.. Well done.

Dave.

Thanks! The second, I don't like the lighting, or, well, the background.

I think they are great Judi. You can do some post processing for the second one to bring down the brightness but really I think it is good how it is. Maybe crop it in closer to the dancer.
I love the colors of the first and I too love the motion of the second one. I think you did awesome!
Keep them coming
