Very nice combination of color and blur.

Although the diagonal line is a strong visual element, I think this also works well with the dancer upright (depending on what you removed to get the diagonal version). With the horizon horizontal, the ceiling looks even more like a cloudy sky at sunset, with her dancing on a broad expanse of golden sand near a safety rail that keeps anyone from falling into a lake.

It's quite something the lady has almost disappeared. Interesting! Love it.

very interesting. parts of the background look like a bowling alley, parts like the ocean and that one white line with the red line through it looks like a straw.

Very nice shot. I think the BW works tremendously well. The line of up and down cowboy hats really works beautifully.

Brought a smile seeing them all lined up like that. They are cool, especially the dude with the smoke.

Terrific motion. We definitely get the sense of that bucking bull.

I like the guy near us smoking. COOL

The heart of the dance is the heart of the dancer.

just wanted to say that I gave this an 8 and I find that the fact that this barely broke 5 a bit discouraging. The poor masses really lack the appreciation for great photography.
