 I took this between classes at the dance studio. I wasn't sure if people would get that it is a visual pun. But I thought I would give it a try.

This bums me out. I thought for sure this would do better. I love this shot. The crop is good! I think it leads your eyes right to the pointe shoes. This would make an excellent stock shot!

While I like the pun, I think it would have been much more powerful if the lower half of the photo was cropper off. 6

Nice composition...the colors seem flat, but that could be what you are going for. Interesting tattoo...bet that was painful.

Strong pun, weaker photographically. The composition is a little overloaded with our of focus floor

Wow! I am totally impressed with this shot. I love the dof and the composition you choose here. The colors are perfect and the ballet bars in the back make it perfect. oh and the tatoos of the stars make this top 10 for me.
