THIS is so cool. I thought it was a flower, when looking at the thumbnail -- but was DELIGHTED to see the ballerina!

Very creative. Extremely well conceived/drawn.

...over the top amazing.

I think I know whose this is. I love everything that you do and this one is brilliant!!! I love the idea that you wanted to use this as an entry for the In Flight Contest! Love the black background. What patience you have! You are already the winner in my estimation!! Thanks again for sharing such an awesome piece!

This is a beautiful entry for the contest, and I think you have a good shot at winning. The details are amazing and I love how the dark background makes the lighting shine even more, and makes it look more dramatic ;) You really did a beautiful job :) Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

A wonderful interpretation of this contest theme. Beautiful and graceful and representing the soaring of the Soul. Another gift shared by the "Gift Sharer" ~ Steve

Great Action photo. Like the exposure, capture of the ballerina, lighting and the black and white effect. You can feel the ballerina dancing with feelings and movement through the air with gracefulness.

    this is us. our soaring through this life, as we lift ourselves above the battles of this existence.

A wonderful idea for the flight contest - as a former Trainer of GRS I enjoy this one 100 times more sa it takes a while until the students get to this perfection - your drawing really is very appealing and perfect in body shapes, fantastic in shadow and light application, super DOF - the fine detail work shows your excellency in graphite technique , handsome initial impact,
this for sure reminds me at the international competitions, Olympics and champion chips during years - well done - all the best for the contest
( observation - your photograph it cutting the front foot while there is space left at the left - you cans till repeat it and rectify as the foot point is just making the shot complete) amazing work

    I intentionally cut the foot off. Just an idea. Just a different approach. Something beyond the norm.

    loll I do not feel that it is favorable as your design is so handsome and in this sport the very ends are showing the perfection that very end is missing .. :):)

Great creative winning composition. She seems to be soaring in air with her costume floating behind her. Great lighting effect.The BW add to the drama. Lovely image.

A graceful composition that captures the fluid motion of the dancer. I like the way her apparel is lit and the and the highlights on her legs and foot. A nicely rendered image. Best of luck in the contest.
