Nice image but I don't know what it is and I don't feel any connection to the challenge. I'll give it a good rating anyway.

Greetings from the Critique Club

What an interesting image you have presented here. You managed to work around what could have been a difficult problem with depth of field on that forward hand and the face & body of the dancer. By blurring out the background you made it all come together.

As your commentors suggested, the lighting is uneven; perhaps it is possible on your Nikon to change the intensity of the on-board fill flash? If so, that might help some in a similar situation. I would also suggest that you use even more blur on the background since it competes mightily with the dancer and her colorful clothing. But I don't know how much you could do and still be "legal." (Of course now that it is for your personal portfolio, the sky's the limit should you wish to try that idea)

As it is, you achieved a respectable score for this nice image, and undoubtedly you learned from it.

Good luck in future challenges.

Alice

such energy. I suppose it is the broken circle which she seems to be spiraling into and also breaking apart. 10.

Nice, Rikki, nice. I'm guessing this is from some multi-cultural event. And she's a belly-dancer?
