a very difficut self portrait.
I dont like it much but and i'm going to be killed for the blow out over the breast it will have to do because the stupid kitten got in the good photos and there is no cloning him out.
self timer and a camera strapped to the blade of a ceiling fan!!

what a creative idea...i would have never thought of putting my camera on a celing fan! a very unique entry for a very unique woman. this should have scored higher IMHO
For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have. (for your photo the title did not distract so no downgrade)

Two small quibbles: (1) I think the dancer's head pointing down is awkward, a 90- or 180-degree rotation would be better. (2) The colors either aren't bright enough or aren't dull enough. Pick a direction and desat a little for a sepia-toned, old-style image or increase for a brighter and impactful image.
Strange position. I can't help but wonder if she leaned to the side if it would have looked better to me. Appears you may have desaturated a little. Her skin tones are ashen at her throat and breast with the bodice of the dress lacking color. There is definatly a clash of colors and textures.
