Persistence. That was the theme of this shoot! I tried 5 times. The next to last I thought I'd figured it out, but that was the time I learned what not having a 100% viewfinder means... I had to shoot yet AGAIN and zoom in a bit tighter to not get the edge of the backdrop. I hope all the aerobics was worth it!!
Tried a few shots without the shadow, but it didn't have the same appeal to me. Purists might protest.

Very nice.. clean. Have to admit that shadow by her foot and I think that is one by her left hand on the dress are kind of distracting.. but overall very nice
I like this ...well done. The only thing is that it at first glance it looks a little strange...like her head is facing the wrong way....if that makes sense ! I gave it a high score though !
