I saw this had dropped off the first page of the forum without any comments, so I took pity on you even though I wouldn't normally be interested in photos of dancing...

Anyway I think the most obvious things you might do to improve this would be [a] convert it to portrait format by cropping out all the wasted space on each side; and [B] clone out those distracting white chairs. I think you'll have a very stong image then. I don't know whether it would benefit from a bit of sharpening - the softness I think I see might be motion blur - but you could try.

Hey Stewart,
it's nice to see that you're so merciful, but don't worry, I doesn't hurt me if a photo drops off the first page without any comments...

Anyway, thank you for your input. There is are no sharpness issues and there is no motion blur exept maybe her hair, could be the downsizing that gives the impression. I might clone out the chairs, although they form an important part of this dance show and the two friends wanted them in. Finally, cropping out the "wasted" space could kill the depth in the image, but I might also try it.
regards,
T.O.

I saw this and envisioned a fun crop to it in a step-mount. Enjoy;
