Took this photo of an Indian Dancer. The stage was so small that I could not separate the subject from the background. What do think of the photo?

Any reason in particular why it's tilted? This was all the rage among wedding photographers a few years ago. It looked dumb then. Not much has changed.

No reason other than trying different composition then straight.

do you have a pic with not such a tight crop on it? I feel like this picture is too close. I'm not a professional though, so take my comments with a grain of salt.. lol

Color seems a little off, maybe the lighting and your settings? I would think it would be a little more vibrant or warmer. Also agree on being a little tight

Maybe a bit underexposed - her hair is solid black with no detail.

Couple of things I would suggest. Get out a little further, I can't see what lens this was shot with, but I would make sure not to cut off just the elbow.
Second would be to try to get her with a picture of her eyes towards you instead of the ground. I think the subject looks good, but better timing of the shot could have made it great.

I actually like the tilted shot better. For me it adds some interest to a a simple snapshot. However, I think you may have missed focus on the eyes/face, or maybe it is motion blur.


With the impending forum closure, please consider joining the unofficial adjunct to the POTN forum, The POTN Forum Facebook Group (external link), as an alternate way of maintaining communication with our members and sharing/discussing the hobby while a new forum is being developed.
