I like the bolder colors and the crop better in the newer version than your original. The feel of the title work well, and the colors enhance the ballet connection and fantasy element more. Call me crazy...but I'd even like to see more of the noise carry all the way up to the background!

hmmm, you might be on to something there, John! Lovely composition too, I agree with the cropped version here. Very nice!

I love ballet: beautiful music, bodies and movement. The only thing about it that puzzles me is, why do choreographers always pose ballerinas with one leg in the air? No other artists pose their models that way, not in photographs, not in movies, not in stage dramas, not in painting..... So maybe this photo answers my question.

This is version 2. I decided to crop it and leave the noise in. Version 1 is here:http://www.pbase.com/stfchallenge/image/68589317
