Hi Diego,

It's interesting: just from the thumbnail, it seems that the subject is the blurred person in the background; the person in focus doesnt look like a human figure (only in the thumbnail). For some reason, the unique head-dress of the person you photographed threw off my human-head recognition :)

Cognitive science aside, it's a great photo - the sepia tones fit your composition well. However, I should imagine that the colors of the head-dress are as interesting as the juxtaposition of shapes here. Perhaps a color version in the workshop would be nice...

cheers,
biswaroop

Hello Diego.
I agree with Biswaroop's comments here. It's a fine photo, one that I did not expect from the thumbnail. I like the shallow depth of field and the sepia tones, emphasising the nostalgic element of this older photo. Good profile of the dancer's face, and a nice frame in black. Well done with the scan, too.
Regards,
Andrew
