A touch more contrast would add some pop, but a 7 nonetheless. :)

I wish you'd captured this shot a fraction of a second later when her hips where in the sideways gyrating posture - that really would have emphasised the hops as referred to in the title...

Can't quite tell you why I love this picture, but something about it struck me. Looks like a classic photo from the 60s. I would hang this on my wall.
