Ballerina – Hal Smith
Friday, May 8th, 2009In April’s absence, I get the pleasurable job of choosing the Pic of the Week. And it was really difficult – you have all gotten so good! I finally decided on Hal Smith’s Ballerina image. Firstly, the colours attracted me. They are so tranquil and possess a great stillness. This complements the scene perfectly, with the reflection and soft detail. I think the water has been painted extremely well, especially the ripples where the wing and feet touch the surface.
It’s a great example of how a very simple scene can still hold a lot of impact. Excellent work!
