The second and third photos are the best in my opinion.
The second photo captures a feeling of mystery
The third photo shows unity of purpose and colour. Possibly, I like the third photo the best
Was the dance accompanied by any form of sound, or music?
Cheers

Hi guys - Thanks for the comments.

The dancers were accompanied by some slow drum beating and the chanting of two old tribal leaders. Try as I might i couldnt capture the sound along with the images. The combination certainly enhanced the evening and made for a very interesting experience.

:D

Wow, that's certainly not your normal place to visit as a tourist ;)

Interesting images though. Well taken and your PP is spot-on too. I am a bit put off with them looking 'down' in your images though. I know they are pretending to fish, but it looks a bit odd. :(

I like the 2nd and third photos best. The second crops nicely to the intensity in the dnacers face and I like the moon-like effect of his bracelet (mini-reflector :)

The third shot shows the dancer in context with his partner and environment..their poses reminds of the scene in "dances with wolves" over the fireplace :o
