It's a very sharp image here you have Steve. I love the details of the costume and the warm skin tones of the girl. The only drawback though, as I'm sure you're aware are those teo bright lights above her head. Not much you can do other than crop the image. I know that this would cut off here head dress, but in my opinion that's fine becasue you've already cropped off her fine legs.

I did try another workshop that was a tighter crop, but cropped off her arm. If you'd gone a bit wider on the right it might have worked.

Thanks

Great picture Steve. Very attractive one. Great expression. You captured her at the right moment. Just my opinion: the light behind her may disturb the quality of the picture. I dont know what you think. Sothy

Interesting photo. Nice costume. Good colors and contrast. CRowd behind her is blured enough to direct whole attention to girl.
Just IMHO two things are distractive. Lights above her head and man in white right from her.
Regards Darko

Hello Steve, enchants to my the smile of the woman, joy, color, dances.... I like the carnival.
For my taste the frame would be of whole body, the feet in these photos also are important, in any case congratulations by your work.

Regards my friend.

I expect it's incredibly difficult to take photos of individuals at carnival because of all the crowds. I think you have succeeded very well. You captured a wonderful expression on her face and excellent detail in her costume. Well done

Hi Steve,
Nice shot. I like all the carnivals, fiestas etc. People are crazy, lots of emotions, colors, fun. And Your picture is full of joy. Nice colors, contrasts. Maybe only the lights in the upper part are a little bit too strong.
Good work,
regards,
and thanks for Your visit in my gallery,

Hi Steven,
Good capture of her expression, nice exposure, colors and light, and DOF isolating the subject from the BG... she might be framed abit too centrally and these violet spots on her legs could have been cloned out ...
