Traditional Dance from the Indian Desert by maeva

Traditional Dance from the Indian Desert

27 / 365
Every day from 7pm to 8pm, in the Old City Center of Udaipur, a show of folk dances and puppets is held in the Bagore Ki Haveli Museum.
Performed by a family of artists, this show is a real hommage to the musical and dancing arts coming from the desert of India (North East).
At one moment, I really felt as if I were in the desert, surrounded by sand dunes and camels.
It was just beautiful and one of the best memories of my trip.

Photo Note:
The face might be slightly over-exposed.
And what do you think of cropping a little bit the top right corner?

Amazing catch and I think you might be right about the cropping

Love the movement that you caught here - such a beautiful moment.

It would probably look a bit better cropped but it looks like you've also got a fair bit of noise going on in the background, cropping it might magnify that to an unpleasant degree. I like exposure on the face though, it doesn't look blown out and the edge light highlights it.

Great shot! :)

Wonderful movement and lighting, I agree a little from the top and possibly a little from the left side to keep the balance which is so good.

I love, love, love this photo - it almost looks like a painting. I agree with you on cropping a touch from the top right corner. That was the feeling I initially got upon viewing the photo and before even reading the caption or comments. Beautiful capture. By the way, do you know what your ISO was? Just curious.

Great scene. I only wish we could see more of that background.

Lovely shot. Agree with Timmy. Leave this photo as is.

This is another beautiful shot - I love the sense of movement you've captured. I personally wouldn't crop it as I think having something of the stonework anchors the dancer in the picture.

I love this photo and the amount of dark space in the background, makes the dancer the focus.

stunning picture! Love the dark background so there is nothing that distracts from the dancer. A very little crop could work fine.

Thank you everybody for your comments and advice.
@timeweaver @lindenswhite it was quite dark and as I really wanted to freeze the motion, my ISO were quite high: 800? maybe even more.
