This is my daughter (a competitive Irish dancer)
I used the same idea from the design and engineering challenge but with a bit of twist. The Irish love their dance but also love their beer as well :) Hope the shot does well...I have learned alot since the design and engineering challenge.

This is a marvelous photos. The composition is outstanding and the detail is simply fantastic. It's a beautiful piece. On my first look I only saw a minor distraction that I might try to get rid of and that would be the the square under the can...not sure if that is a tiled floor but that seems to be a very slight distraction one that you could easily edit out. This does fit the challenge well. Nice way to express balance.
Congrats on the fantastic finish and I will be looking forward to seeing more from you.
why the square crop? wouldn;t a narrower crop emphasize the image better?
ok - i agree with you about the sides adding negative space - now what about cropping away the table, leaviing half the beer can and all negative space? maybe it is the bottom, floor or whatever, that is extra - also it has less contrast that the dancer and the can. is less dramatic.
Been is Ireland for 5 yrs now and haven't seen that yet. I love your idea. Foreground is perfect for me but I do have a few issues with the background. I think a complete washed out white background would make this image a classic. What I am trying to say is that the background is a bit distracting. I think a retake with a different background would be worthwhile. Bottom line is it's a great image and I love it.
Great photo. I like your composition and subject here. The only thing I would have liked to see different is the use of color. I don't think the B&W really adds to the feel of the shot in this case. But that's just my personal taste, and its a great capture nonetheless..... I give a 9
