Purple Dresses Sepia Dancers

ballet dances in purple dresses with sepia background
I converted the whole photograph except the bright purple ballet dresses to sepia.

It portrays a dream mood. Sort of like a poem. Very nice.

I like the shadow of the girl to the right, as she turns the oter way. A good capture

Now purple and sepia is a combination I would not have imagined together but your picture makes a bold and surprising statement. I love the movement of the dancers, the intensity of their expressions, and the delightful frame of hearts around the one dancer's head.

The Three Graces are just captivating.
So focused by the dance and the moves, and
innocent about their own beauty.
I can almost hear the music inside my head,
and sense the intensity from the wardrobe, applying make up and fitting costumes...
all those years ago.
Sepia and purple work splendid together.

Purple is one of my favorite colors. I made my bridesmaids wear purple at my wedding.
