What do you think of this? I know there is some motion blur in the faces of some, but this was in audience during live performance.

Outside of the level being off( its slanted) the details and clarity are wonderful! It has a feel of movement for me....maybe a tighter crop?

I like the muted colors. Agree with Flo on the rest.

I think you captured a perfect moment in time, especially in terms of composition. I agree that a tighter crop might be in order. the motion blur is a bit of a bummer because the composition lends itself to having every detail in focus. that being said, it might also work well if only the two in front were in focus and you could try to decrease the DOF in PS, blurring the rest more than it already is.

I think this image is awesome. I like everything about it.
I like the muted colors.
I like the DOF.
I like the action.
I like the composition.
I like the extended illusion of 3-D.
I like the crop, too. I think the crop is just enough to elude to the point of impact when the two jumpers land.

While I will agree with the others in regards to a bit tighter crop, I'm not seeing where it really looks all the slanted (and I'm usually really picky about that...read some of my other critiques! LOL!). If you look at the curtain it does look really off, but looking at the curtain line on the floor as well as the male dancers feet against the bottom of the image, it might be a degree off but I don't really think it's bad enough to worry about. Personally I'd just chalk this up to the curtains on the side being crooked. I think the image is actually fairly well balanced all things considered.

I also actually like the slight amount of blur as to me it gives a sense of movement.

Personally I think you did very good job here. Well done!

Just my $.02 worth,
