I have four votes of 10...this one included. However, I may vote the others down a bit because this one stand out !

I keep coming back to this and wish I could go higher than a 10. This is a problem I usually have ! I vote 3 or 4 photos at 10 and then have to decide which one is BETTER than the others. Once I decide, the only thing I can do is lower the others down to 8 or 9. This one will stay at 10.

Her face is perfect. The intense look is perfect. The arms and hands are perfect. The fact that you set this outdoors instead of in a studio adds to the photo !

Very nice.

***Ok...this is my only 10. I have several 9s but this one is so different that it got the extra point***

Fantastic capture. I agree with Lydia, with regards to the voters. The POV definitely helps to make the image. A view from your eye level would have been less dramatic.

I love the image... not sure it's really a Point of View image... at least as I understand it.

FS??

Great concept, nicely captured. Subject feels separated from the background for some reason. Don't know if selective desat was applied or it's the sharpening or what. A minor quibble...

That's a terrific capture of a beautiful leap. Unfortunately the surrounds are very busy and I think detract from the beauty of the ballerina.
