Exellent shot. Very good b&w work. A very dynamic looking image with those poses.

This shot is worth it for the stare the blond girl is giving you, whilst all the others look away. Very good.

Wonderful expressions. Intensity is one of the things I like most about flamenco dancing.

My wife is a dancer (professionally ballet ) and this stikes a chord with me...very familiar. She does impromptu Flamenco performances for friends from time to time. Also belly dancing...she's half arabic and the girls grow up learning it while young.Nice capture..

@rverspirit: I love my girlfriend but... I would love her even more if she was a dancer ;) Just kidding, but I must say I find oriental and south african dancing soooo se(x)nsual. Thank you
@DIMITRIOS: Thank you :)

They're so serious! Nice composition. I especially like the expression on the far right woman combined with only part of her showing.

@Ken McCoy: thank you!! It's such an intense dance. Concentration, concentration and concentration...
Shahab from Qazvin, Iran
Fantastic composition!Great work!All of the objects are in good position,I wish you could avoid that intensive light above that woman`s head.

@Shahab: Thank you!
You are right... I usually don't like to manipulate de images too much but here I better photoshop it out.
