Greetings from the Critique Club

Great find for the Symmetry Challenge.

I very much like your ocmposition with the two girls dancing nicely in front of the stone wall. I do wish you had been lucky enough to get the feet of the dancers. that might have cost you some votes...

technically, if it was mine, I'd try for some darker darks along with the good grays and near whites you have here. I think it would make the image 'pop' a bit more.

In any event, you found a good example of symmetry and presented it nicely.

I think this may have been nicer in color, but nice image overall.
