dance FireDancer

I see what you mean, the crop does provide better balance.

However, this is a fire dancer, and she is twirling a stick with flames at each end. I feel it's important to include the flame.

The fire ball on the lower end of the stick (out of frame), can be seen as dots reflected in her eyes.

Also, this shot is personal. I know this young woman. She and her parents are prominent members of the Contra dance community.

Thank you for the comment, and for posting your take. Please feel free to do so in the future.

Peace,
