I love this portrait. You might want to lighten the mid tones just a bit.

hope you don't mind, I did a quick & dirty minight sepia...


Also, you have a very jagged edge on the left side of her. you might want to blur it with a soft brush...

this might look great with a midnight sepia action, you might want to check it out, just google it & I'm sure you can find it (if not PM me & I'll send you a link...)

I like the idea of this. But I feel as if it's too dark to really inspire the viewer to study it further. The items in the passthrough behind her are distracting.

This would be cool in an outdoor spot, or with a tent, like a harem setting.

In the main, I quite like it. In seems to me it could be more luminous, glowing. Not a lot is needed, but a bit IMO. The floating brass band abogve her elbow is a major distraction for me. I like the shadows, there is a graphic quality they augment, a sort of stylization. I like the seriousness. But then, I hung out with dancers for many years.

For me, not well.
The posing is inviting, but her face doesn't reflect the freedom of the dance.
The overall color seems dingy and lifeless and the shadows seem in the way.

With regard to composition - works well. With regard to exposure - sucessful in stopping the motion of the person while still showing the movement of the fabric. With regard to color space - seems a bit flat. With regard to visual interest - excellent. Overall impact is short of "wow" but long on creativity and ingenuity. I think this is due to the shadows on the belly - probably unavoidable I know, but it's just my opinion. I think I'd like to see a smile or different expression on the model. What I see is concentration rather than something more inviting. Hope this helps...
