Limbo

Rene Burri. BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro. Acrobatic performance. 1958.

First of all, I am impressed!  It's a lot harder to limbo than you might think, unless, like me, you've tried to do it.  But I particularly liked the tension the photographer captured here.  From the dark, vertical lines framing the action, to the limbs of the on-lookers on down to the expression of concentration on the dancer's face...  I feel the limbo must have been serious business in Brazil in 1958!
