I really like this. Some may prefer if the face on the white dancer as in at least as sharp as the red dancer. 8

perfect

This is a truly stunning and dramatic image. The motion of the dance invokes a most violent first impression and the contrast between the red and white certainly add to a battle of evil vs. good - and this shot - evil as the aggressor. The subjects are perfectly framed and the reflection in the stage floor grounds this "battle" making the participants more human than ghostly. The motions of the two subjects also gives them an almost unreal size and defines and accentuates their very womanly curves in a "Reubenesque". The deep black background places them in a wonderfully intimate setting as to say this is just between the two of us. Beautiful and brilliant.
