Thanks, Tom. Guess I didn't slow down the shutter enough.

I'm seeing these backwards Aam. This somehow uses the bg poster even more effectively with the action frozen enough to twist the brain into thinking they are taking a bow. Good timing. -tv

Thanks CJ and Rod. Still have 100s to process so I might replace/post another one.

Good idea Aam and I like the background picture repeating the costumes of the performers. I wish there was a bit more motion blur on the women and with maybe less on the guys but this must have been very difficult to shoot. :-) CJ

I don't think there's enough blur to stop our brains from thinking it's just a blurry picy Aamm. Good idea to include the background picy as an integral part of shot.

Thanks. Brent, that was intentional. Have plenty of frozen action (at f4), but thought of using slower SS to show movement.

Looks to be a very colorful and festive dance scene Aam. Maybe the motion blur helps suggest the movement, but part of me wonders what a faster shutter speed might have produced? I bet that great new camera could have handled twice the ISO quite well to speed things up. Did you try any cranked up a bit?
