Cultural Dance At Leang-Leang

The 2011 Garuda Indonesia International Photo Contest Final Round was held in Makassar, Ujung Pandang, December, last year. As a member of the panel of judges, I had an opportunity of visiting Markassar, Indonesia after a break of 10 years.
I captured this image at one of the sessions specially arranged for the finalist. I think is essential to synchronize the peak action of the performance with the precision timing of clicking the shutter for this image. I especially like the musicians in the backdrop that blended well with main subject.
