Very nice photo, Robin. I like the repetition of the 2 dancers. I like your vantage point, too. Lovely costume!

I vote for this one, although it's comparing apples and naranjes. This one has more for the eye to notice; it appears more spontaneous and less staged. The other is done well, but this has more ooomph in it.

Great shoot Robin.

She is wearing the Jarocha´s clothes. The word "Jarocho" Describes the people who live in Veracruz and the sourrondings. So the word "JarochA" is for women. The clothes are fantastic and the dances are magnificent. What can I say if I´m a "Jarocho", Lol.

I have a photo of Titled "Jarocha" in this link:

Beautiful colors and wonderful angle and DOF. I really, really like this.

Think I like this one better, it seems a bit more spontaneous, and a little less staged. like how you've gotten the intensity on her face, the way the dancer should emote.

Ditto what Penny said.
I like the other better because it's more "fun", but this one is so well composed, etc!

This has my vote, like the camera angle and her posture.
