Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Date: Mar 17, 2007
Galleries: Portraiture, Studio
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

I really flipped a coin several times as to what to submit. My all time favorite image, is missing the original. Oh well. I don't expect much of this image in this challenge. I picked this image because it has done well on other sites, and I have never uploaded it here in my portfolio. So here it goes in. Good luck to all, and I hope to be within the middle of the pack buried in there with many other outstanding, thoughtful, and unique images.

great posing, good light; it's a very well executed shot! i like the blurred veil and the whole composition in general.

I like this but you can see where you've used the eraser tool, particularly behind her butt and around the veil below her hands. The longer part of the veil look a little odd and the picture might look stronger without it.
Good luck
(I'm still giving you 7)

Nice capture. The blurriness of the sheet adds to the shot.

Great movement, the veil adds to the effect, just wish there was a little more fill light on the front of the dancer.

Magnificent composition. Love the contrast between the solid dark shape of the dancer and the diaphanous scarf
03/14/2009 11:14:20 AM
Elegant and beautifully done. Great job (voted yesterday)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:43:46 AM
Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. Great action shot of this ballerina leaping in the air. The u shape created by the long scarf adds an interesting shape and curve to the composition. What I like most in this photo is her expression coupled with her dance pose. There seems to be this pure joy that comes off the page - a love of the dance that is palpable. Nice work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:33:34 AM
I love the flow of the lines and the expression.

A lovely graceful image. Perhaps a touch more light from the left but I love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:39:16 PM
Wow! Even among 1,124 photos, this one really stands out. It is so elegant and classy -- not to mention a beautiful stop action. This will be only my 3rd 10, and I hope to see this in the very top few!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:11:33 PM
The lines and flow from the fabric through to her body is elegant and graceful. I like how the lighting creates shadows and then highlights her figure and dance postiion. Nicely done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:18:06 PM

Good movement capture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:00:26 PM
The composition is stellar here and the white background works perfectly. Just a nitpick, but it looks like you missed a couple areas (bottom right of dress and under hands) with whatever spot editing you were doing. It's barely noticeable on this calibrated monitor but very apparent on my uncalibrated one

Beautiful image. I love everything about it, except for her hand. The way she inverterd her palm looks a bit awkward and interrupts the fluidity of the image.
