Thanks a lot for your comments. I really appreciate contructive criticism: it's what everybody needs to improve. I know the focus is not perfect (it was reaaly difficult to focus properly in low artificial light with a makro-planar) but the result seemed to me nice after all.

I would like it better, if the model would look with her big eyes, straight into the camera! That the eyes not in crisp focus, is not disturbing, at least for me!\n\n\n

I like the monotone appearance of your image.

Thanks a lot.

Nice light\n\n\n

Thanks to everybody: it's one of my favorites. As regard B&W, I prefer it in color.
I must say in the film era I have always shot B&W. But since I bought the M9, I increasingly loved color, surely as Elli says for its warm tones.

Thank you, I agree with you both.

Lovely composition! Wish it has a little less grain...\n\n\n

Thank you! I think the grain is the combined result of the harsh light, the lens and probably the scan I did some years ago (maybe I should try to do it again).

Did you manipulate this photo? It looks like your model has been cut and pasted into this composition.\n\n\n
I have just lengthen a bit the bottom of the image starting from the dancer hips.
When I shot I was standing and so the legs looked a bit short for the perspective.
