It's a very good take on the theme Bob... I think however, it is too dark.  Try boosting the brightness a bit to show her face and eyes a bit more to really let us see her having fun!  Smiley

I know what you are saying Tommy,unfortunately if i lighten it any more it shows the other dancers in the background and to me spoils the shot, but i will have another look at it before the end of the month to see if i can improve on it

Agree with Tommy, a very good take on the theme but just far too dark. Try lightening the image overall and then use your dodge and burn tools (in photoshop) to lighten and darken the areas which need it !

Thank's for the kick up the rear end, i was being a bit lazy wasn't i so have had another go and replaced it with this one, hope you like it a bit better. I have lightened her as much as i can without her turning grey and replaced the messy background with a mottled one

Looks better for sure. Fairly noisy because of the processing ... but still I do like the whole take on the B+W theme !
