Nice composition, but the lighting could have been better.

Nice action, but way too much of a snapshot. I would crop much closer to the subject, the door and window are distracting.

Very nice shot. The motion blur actually adds a lot to the photo, as does the negative space. 9

Would have been an impressive photo had it been in focus! Faster shutter speed.

Lovely alliteration in your headline. How difficult it is to get a crisp shot under the usual circumstances (no flash?) at a performance...and you did capture her face with a beautiful expression! I think, especially for this challenge, that black and white might have been a better choice than the sepia tone. Nice example of how to capture the feel of dance. Luck.

Great picture and title for this challenge. Considering this is a newspaper challenge - a little noise from a higher ISO setting would have helped give it the newspaper look, and, allowed for an increase of shutter speed so the arms, face and body would be in near perfect focus while the arms scarf and legs still blured to show motion. With that said, this is still a GREAT shot because you caught her in the perfect pose. Excellent work.
