Meanwhile, a matronly woman in early 1960s white dress, necklace, hat, and high heels, with hand bag hanging from the crook of her arm and a serious look on her face, observes B and V from further upstage.

When I look at that photo, I always wish I'd been that matron.

This is a fairly recent photo. It's a studio photo of Katia Carranza and Renato Penteado of the Miami City Ballet in Balanchine's Symphony in C second movement. Simply breathtaking!!

It's a very dramatic photo, but I just can't help noticing that the 180 degree line only runs from the top of the toe of the working leg to the knee of the supporting leg. That last segment skews forward on a slant and the knee is caved in.

So instead of a 6 o'clock image you have something more like a 5 o'clock image with the hour hand bent part way from the center.

This kind of distortion takes away from the other, much more lovely aspects of the photo
