comments anyone?

First is *very* nice.
#2, 3 and 4 would have been better if a bit looser cropped.

Agreed, #1 is spectacular, great capture.

Hey, I can make my belly dance. Trouble is when I stop, it doesn't. ;)

Love the first pic. Wonderful, book worthy.

On the last one, what is she standing on?

My opinion differs a little from René's in that I love the first but think it would be better if more tightly cropped (similar to #4).
