Very good, although the reflecdtion on the shoe is a minus.

lol. those are YOUR feet? I thought it was a little girl... about age 3 or so. It was one of my favorites in the challenge by far. There seems to be a bit of a quality issue... soft focus or maybe it's light reflecting off the embroidery. I can't put my finger on it, but it isn't as clear as it could be somehow. Still, very creative and wonderful.

B&W is a good choice - the carpet and the skirt look like they;d be too busy in color. I'd like to see the dancer on a darker floor too. Still I like the focus on the feet from behind - really brings it down to the bells, and having the dancer up on toes gives sense of the motion which makes the bells ring.

Nice tones. Good subject. Showing some motion would have made a stronger shot. A slower shutter speed might work.

This is a great photojournal (setup) shot. I like the history and culture in this shot - it's not mine, and it is intriguing because of that. I think people should take more shots of things that matter to them and stop thinking about "5.5 vs. 6.5" neither is a ribbon - take shots that make you happy - like this one! 10

Heh, I was wondering if I still had my old ankle bells but I couldn't find them. Nice choice IMO therefore. A slightly different pose with the feet further apart might have given a bit more emphasis to the concept of motion and therefore ringing but it's certainly not absent with the feet in the position they are, I'm just nitpicking.

I'm a little uncertain why you chose B&W for this as all the traditional dances I can think of involving bells are things that involve very colourful costumery; I don't think it would have distracted but rather helped. However, that rug might be colourful enough to prove me wrong.

Definitely one of my favorites so far.
