MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY (notice, 4 "manys") CONGRATULATIONS, MY MOST DEAREST DAUGHTER! I am more than impressed. Here's to many more high scores and ribbons and other stuff!
Horizontal dancing, the latest thing. I like the bw effect, I believe I would have liked it better vertical. It almost looks like there was some clean up done around the edges.
I feel I disagree about the title of the shot, since it seems much more a fashion shot than a dance/movement shot. But that aside, the composition, contrast and form are very powerful and effective creating a beautiful image. Simple and elegant.
If the graphic quality of this shot was a notch better, it would be a top finisher. Out line of shoes looks choppy rather than smooth. Perfect otherwise though. Have a great day!
