Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi Nataraja,

The first thing that struck me about this shot was how well named it was - very appropriate. The second thing is the wonderful pose you managed to stop. I love these shots where the camera shows something that eye could never quite see.

As some of the voters commented; it would have been better to exclude the person on the right. I think the slip of body up the right margin detracts mroe from the image then the arm and hand. An effective pose could have been to have the hand coming in from above. Nonetheless; the point is that as it stands the person takes away from the story of the dog being a ballerina.

Regarding post-processing. I would have liked to see the image rotated so that the line where the floow meets the wall was at a right-angle to the frame. A little USM (unsharp mask) would have been good to help the dog stand-out from the background better.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

Too bad it's basic editing. Otherwise you could have cloned your arm out, and the effect would have been perfect. Nice shot, well trained dog.

Nice shot. Consider a lower angle for more impact

Nice abstract. There is some noise in the pic, however, and I think in this particular photo it is a bit distracting.
