This is fantastic Erica. Breaking 6 and making top twenty on your second challenge is definitely something to be proud of. Congrats and keep up the good work.

From the Critique Club :

Hi Erica ,

A top 20 in your second challenge : congrats !

I'm a bit surprised that you have received 20 comments and you don't have marked any as useful , I'm quite sure that the people who have taken time to leave them would appreciate that.

It's an interesting photo , you have captured a lovely moment and the lighting creates a dramatic effect.I agree with sanx that it would have looked even more impressive with the ballerina facing in the opposite direction.

In advanced editing you could have softened a bit the light on the right leg , nothing very important as I think that it's more a very impactive shot than a technical one.

Well done , keep it up.

Please feel free to email me about this critique , this is only a personal opinion.

Comment by sanx:
Very nice. Great lighting and composition. The image would be even stronger if the ballerina was facing the camera and connecting to the audience--with a "I'm so winning" expression, perhaps.

Great colors and contrasts. I think I would prefer to be closer to the subject on this shot. Lovely image, however.

Whats the bright white in the foreground? I would have rated this a 7 but the spot detracts a lot.
