I lighted her - ~12cm tall porcelain ballerina - with a small table lamp from above and with a small candle from the left side. I used a black paperboard as background and a sky-patterned paperboard under a flat glass (in order to gain a reflection and simulate the starry night sky). For some advises during the All Alone challenge, I tried not to center her with such a geometric precision. I wonder whether you like this new composition, and I hope she is graceful enough to meet the challenge. :-) I am very curious about your comments on this photo.

Thank you all for your comments! Kiwiness, especially your kind comments mean me a lot, thank you very much! I really got a huuuge amount of encouraging now. :-)
I tried to find a real ballerina for this challenge and couldn't. At least you found one. I like the composition but I think I would have liked to have seen softer light used. Just my opinion.
Nice pic, well taken technically. The lighting is spot on and I like the way you've included all that negative space in the direction the ballerina is moving (8)
