Tim and Cheryl

Taken during the semiannual showcase at the Mesa Arts Center. Cheryl had three partners for this particular dance; the other two, not shown, were Joshua Smith and Sean Emad. All four gave a fine performance.
(Update: At the suggestion of fellow Flickr member cobalt123, I have replaced the original version of this photo, which I mention now because some of the comments below concerned the earlier photo and might seem a little puzzling with regard to this one.)

It works. Caught my eye!
–
Seen on my Flickr home page. (?)
Thanks, Daniel — I’m GLAD it worked, and that it caught your eye! I think the studio crowd will love this one, too; the expression on Tim’s face is what really makes it work!
A nice triangular format with a well balanced contrast. The absence of color tones works well here, too. The fact that the fellow in back is looking at the camera is a bit of a distraction, but the strong expression of the other guy and the movement to the lady’s face are a nice counter-balance.
Thanks for the comment. It probably does help this one just a bit that Sean is slightly out of focus, because in my view, the expression on Tim’s face is what really makes the photo work, and I was focusing on him when I pushed the shutter button.
@cobalt123: Thanks for the suggestions! I have made the changes, as you see here. The composition is slightly different from what you recommended, but it is pretty close, and I hope it still works.
His face is priceless, very well done.
Theresa! How nice to see you again. I note that you have changed your Flickrname, and I hope most of the memories you are creating are good ones. I just took a peek at your photostream and will be making a leisurely visit to it later this weekend; in the meantime, it looks like you are continuing to grow as a photographer. I hope life is treating you well at the moment, and I know I need to do a better job of keeping in touch.
Thanks for the visit, and I’m glad you like this photo!
I like it!
Since you are such a dance expert, Marietta, your comment is especially appreciated!
