Thank you for each comment...very appreciated.
Thank you Steve....you get it.
Dance is funny like that...lack of a face can accentuate the form and mood...quite often.
I understand those that want more of a head in the shot....but to me anyway having or not having the head be prominent is not the point in this shot.
It's not whether one "gets it" or not. It's simply a matter of taste or style being similar. Annie Liebovitz is pretty famous for her dance photography, especially from back in the 1980s, but I really dislike her dance photography. Her dance photography, I admit, I just plain don't get. I'm a huge fan of Lois Greenfield, Jordan Matter, Richard Calmes and Gene Schiavone. I'm also a huge fan of Mike Reid's dance photography, but I don't like the lines on the first and second images here, whereas I love the third.
Whether I "get it" or not doesn't really matter, IMO. I just don't care for the lines of the shot and how the head seems to disappear. That's it.
