Well Mr.Omer There is a huge diffrence in UAE and Oman, and if u think that is too exposing then I guess u might plan ur next holidays in UAE, cause dude here in Dubai this is so normal , and the skin flicks are on a continious rise, a night out to c the night life and das it u will remember it for a long time.

You may want to look at this tutorial if you have photoshop, it will help you get your images up to the 150 kb by using the Save for Web feature. It gets rid of the of the exif data which eats up space. If you were to right click this and save it then open it and look at its properties it would have all the details of your camera settings and that you used ACD software. I have that to and I don't think you can adjust the settings like in other softwares. I think the image works well, and I think performing for a crowd is the most easily identifiable alone in a crowd scenario.

I'm not sure she's 'alone in a crowd' - I think she's very much the centre of attention !! and happy about it as well :- )

Great movement in her skirt - that and the colour really add to the photo.

I would of cropped this tighter.

I know, then the image would been DNMC.

So, youv'e got a catch 22 on your hands.

This is about the dancer, not the audience.

I like the title and the concept.

Where do I start ... (I do bellydance performance as part of my service offerings and have over 30K bellydance images in my inventory SO... I might see some things that some others may not ... Hang on !)

Overall: Not a bad capture - although I may not have used this one ... It is just about a bun shot (with the skirt flying up) Luckily she has on bike shorts (I think). The dancer is in a good position (strong hands food foot position decent posture) This looks to be a difficult lighting situation (as many hoflas are) but I would have liked to see more of an exposure (accept some motion blur in exchange for better illumination)- Looks like you have a full stop at least that you could have played with. That would have helped separate her hair a bit. Watch your white balance.

Not a bad capture in a difficult setting

The composition could have been better... the BG is too dark.

Weird - I got the exact same pose from my wife when she stepped in something in the back yard. :P

Good lighting on the subject, but notwithstanding the amount of silky smooth skin showing, the image doesn't wow me much and the challenge connection is there, but tenuous. Good luck though.
