Dervish of Cairo

Upon reflection, it was an awesome feat to sustain whirling for so long. The dancers enter a trance and their devotion is true for all to see.

    Great shot. I think it’s wonderful to think that one can commune with God by the simple act of whirling in circles, maybe we should pay more attention to our kids. :D

    Perfect capture. There is mood, energy, motion and stillness. The group as a whole is captured as opposed to a single whirling dancer, and all are connected. each person is deep in his music or dance. the tonality, light and composition contribute for a strong and memorable visual. If the re is a term “spirituality in dancing” it is shown here. well done
