HI! I was trying to use this technique and have my doubts if this blur adds to

the picture or makes it just look bad quality. I will be grateful for any advice,

regarding composition and exposure as well. Your feedback is very important

to me! Thank you

Hi Oksana, I would feel better about this photograph if the faces were all in focus (like the two on the left) leaving only the bodies blurred. So for the two on the left it is a great effect but the blur on the faces of the subjects on the right is distracting for me.

That being I said I like the way the arm of the forward most dancer stands out against the blurred dancer in the middle-back. Maybe if the face of the second from the right had been in focus I would feel differently.

Regardless of what I think though the idea behind this exposure is both creative and ambitious and for that alone I say nice work.
