Cool idea and subject matter, however, the background is distracting with the orange cones and all. Some cropping (maybe turning it into a portrait format) would have been helpful.
Would like to see the bleachers 'disappear', and the cones too - atleast make me feel like I'm not gawing at an Indian dancer in a parking lot. bonus pts. for originality :)
Great choice of subject -- it really gave you awesome colors and excitement. Were there any better angles you could have gotten to get a less distracting background?
Looks like you were in the right place at the right time. As constructive criticism, it probably would have been a little more pleasing to my eye if you would have used a veritcal crop, as the background tends to dominate the shot. Nice work.
Great subject. I would have rated higher if you could have gotten a tighter shot on the dancer and eliminated the background stuff to a greater degree. Also get some fill light on the front of the dancer.
I wish the costume didn't collide with and get lost in the croud behind it, I would have tried finding a different angle if it had been possible. You could get rid of a lot of distracting background (the people are looking off the frame) by framing it vertically.
I feel it needs tighter cropping and a more unique perspective to eliminate the distracting background. The backgrounds can really hinder a great opportunity.
The colors are great in this. And the stop action is good. The people in back are distracting though, but it's tough in instances like that to not get them.
You chose a difficult subject to work with on stopped motion. Feathers at a distance like this are blurring and there isn't much you can do to stop it. The tassles on the costume seem to be stopped fairly well. The subject being off center with the granstand viewers off to the side make this a challenging framing situation as well.
Nice subject. Very colorful and good action depiction. Could be vastly improved by cropping vertically (tight around subject) and using levels to brighten up overall.
