Thank you for the award Arsen. I think its a pity there weren't a lot more entries, it was an original and worthy topic and I thought many members would have risen to the challenge.
As for the this week's subject - I'll be back later today with my choice.
David

hello! So - a detailed review of images submitted to the contest.

Wedding Disco by Johnriley - Like the angle and color of the image. But honestly, the theme of the dance is not sufficiently disclosed. It looks like good friends talk about something ..

Jive - Greek Style by paulb531 - interesting dance, colorful costumes dancers .. if the pictures were a few - can be worth it to pick the one on which the partners are better positioned in relation to each other

Go Dance! by Gartmore - a good shot! just a very good shot! and it is even nicer because it's made in difficult conditions!

Maypole by GaryJohn - bright, color picture .. you shot the happy children dance but did not show us this very fun children's .. I would like to see the emotion on the faces - if you would take a picture of a little earlier, we would just see them from these guys in the foreground

Classical Dance by Davidtrout - cool picture - exactly what I wanted to see! however, 50 percent of this success belongs to an unknown photographer (we will assume a co-author) .. but this is not important .. Bravo!

Start of the Dancing by Tyronet2000 - just start? but where is the dance itself? You are not photographed dancing such a great couple? Probably themselves joined in the dance!

Breakdancer by Pentaxofile - The picture, which could easily become a winner! The only thing you need to do it - to capture a frame limbs dancer. At least that arm on which the dancer .. I myself like to do sometimes crop - in this case, you cut the most informative parts of the body artist!

Dancing in the Park by Mudge - and here we see the dance! wee see movement, we see emotions. And emotions are contagious - Photo has forced smile!

Party,party by Smudge - potentially a good shot. but a little lacking sharpness. Besides, I do not really like the effect you have applied. While I understand the desire to focus on the main subject.

First Dance by DanielH - but here again, not enough movement, expression, emotion .. The picture is very static .. And on the the composition - the bottom edge of the image is cut off

Thai Cultural dancers by Noelcmn - nice photo! and actually dance and costumed dancers are very attractive and unusual for a European eye. There is a slight tilt to the left (willful?) .. Fingers men close their face .. and left the actor in the background is cut in half ..

it is strange that such a potentially "photogenic" competition did not cause participants are not interested .. But that you eased my work! So - the podium!

1. You know who he is ..
2. Gartmore
3. Mudge

Congratulations to the winners and thank you all for participating!

A lovley Shot David, worthy winner, great timing and eye for an occasion. Congratulations. And the same to Gartmore and Mudge.
The tilt is both willful and unavoidable. Part of the dance involves such tilting. As are the fingers. Actor? musician actually!
Thanks for judging and constructive comments ArsenAl.

I mean overall slope - not just figures of dancers. This can be seen along the line of scene. Yes, of course - a musician! Thank you again for your participation!
