I used to work with a belly dancer and yes, they do love their curves. I agree about the white balance though, it does appear to be incorrect and needs to be warmer. The other thing that hits me here is the sharpness of her face. It looks a bit soft because of the shutter speed but you've captured the sense of movement in her lower half which is good. It's hard to balance the two out. Don't be too discouraged by the score. Go out and take some more shots! :)
I feel that this photo could've benefited from being a little sharper maybe a higher shutter speed would've stopped the motion. The lighting also is flat and therefore the subject lacks definition.
To be honest I'm not very fond of 'snapshots' in public, unless the topic was to do candid's or something similar. Still, this is technically a good shot, but there's not a lot to it to hold me there. Good luck with the next challenge!
nice shot. I think the focus may be a bit off - looks like the wall in the background was what the cameras autofocus picked up on, and the dancer is just a bit out of focus. Or, perhaps she was moving too much toget a solid shot.
I like the colors of the shot, but the composition is a little off (I know it's hard with dancing subjects). The dancer's hand obstructing the drummer is rather distracting as is the rafters of the roofline.
Could be sharper focus or maybe some more creative cropping and post-processing to work with isolating some portions of the frame.
Ahh! She's blinking! Oyk! I hate it when people blink in my pictures... :)
It looks like you have some room to grow in a couple of aspects of this picture. In this setting, it might have been difficult to get everything right anyhow....
Most notably with this picture, I would have sliced off about 30 pixels from the bottom to cut off the front end of the rug...
Try it and see the effect that it has on the foreground. It removes the figurative barrier of the edge of the carpet and invites the viewer inwards a bit more...
