Nice and unusual shot - and that's quite a steady hand you have!

Fantastic image Ken. Beautiful geometry, and the shoes are perfect.

Agreed on all the above. But the lower right light spot.......?

Well I have, a funny mixture of light sources I've even tried mono! In the end, this is really pretty much how it looked. The dancers were wearing red and black tutus but when you try this sort of thing you have no idea how its going to turn out. A gamble really since you only get one shot at it and if I had used a more 'normal' shutter speed I would have been well inside my comfort zone.
