There must be something I'm missing. Hula dancers don't wear polka-dots and don't paint their faces to look like dolls. This picture is wonderful, but the title hints at something totally different so they don't match and it lessens the total appeal for me.

wow

Great portrait! But I don't see her environment at all, so I'm afraid it doesn't really meet the challenge.

I really like this portrait it has a fantastic sense of fun.

Unfortunately there's no environment in the shot so I feel obliged to score lower than I think the shot is worth. 7 for this challenge, 8 maybe 9 if it was just a stand alone shot.

I like the portrait and the sense of motion it conveys. It could have used just a tad more contrast IMO. And for this challenge, I would have liked to see a little more environment

I'd like to see more girl and less Hula. Actually, I can't see the Hula but I'd still like to see more girls. I honestly thought she was falling off of a skateboard. Nice shot but next time more girl...ok?

would love to see this in color nicely done

Would have been nice to see the hula-hoop, or some people or something in the background/foreground. Good pose/angle and expression caught here.

This is missing much of the environment, without the title one wouldn't be able to tell much about her at all

Where's the hula?

Would like to see part of the hoop in the shot to convince me she's really hula-hooping. Unless, of course, you meant Hawaiian hula, in which case this shot isn't believable. Still, good expression on her face and the angle makes the shot seem more dynamic.

yet I don't see a hula hoop ?
