Passion

From "Elements of Dance", please critique.

Another one that jumped at me that drew me away from other images. Again, this works, and I'm challenged to decompose why - the movement inherent in the image is there, somehow the manipulation strengthens it, perhaps the softening and toning suggest movement blur, the solarization/negative effect increases some kind of visual kinetic. Interesting - I really mostly pass over manipulations. Your straight landscape shots are strong, which contrasts sharply with images like this.
