Excellent! I normally am not much into B/W pictures, but this low-key shot is simply great! I read that you cropped the shot; interesting, as I could have wished to see the feet of the dancer too, but perhaps the composition wouldn't be as powerful then, as it is now... Either way: great shot, very nice!

Perfect subject for b&w with the strong lighting. ...Wayne

Nicely gotten. Contrary to Olaf, I love so much B&W shots. This one is very strong and a magnificent use of lighting

@ olaf: thank you! unfortunately, the feet of the dancer were not in the original shot either, i was at an angle from the stage, and i was focusing on her face and body, forgetting the feet. but if it makes any difference, she was barefoot. @ wayne: thank you! unfortunately, the lighting was horrible, both the dancers and the audience complained about it, so i did what i could with it. @ j.a.: thank you! i love b/w too, i shoot monochrome when i can or grayscale later. this was b/w from camera.

Feet not necessary - it's about the line of the arms and body. This one is worth wall space.

I agree, this is a very powerful photograph; despite the high contrast you have retained lots of detail in the clothing. This shot is all about grace, power, line, and action frozen for a moment. Feet absolutely not needed.
