20080317 - Pretty Dancer

Photographers Comments
This pretty dancer was performning a traditional Malay dance. Hope you like it & critiques are welcome.

Hi Steven,
it looks like you have used a blur tool to drop back the background and increase the emphasis on the dancer. Unfortunately this only appears truly evident on the shoulder on the left in the image and around the headdress and fingers. It does bring the main focal subject out to an almost 3D feel.
Lovely warm colours, and great eye contact. Overall a beautiful shot of a beautiful girl.

If it moves shoot it. If it doesn't move, still shoot it.

Phil,
You are absolutely right. I blur it quickly. This is a lazy man result. Anyway, your observation is good. Thanks for the nice comments.
