Was finally able to shoot the Sufi Dancers in Cairo again. Bad circumstances with changing lights, but I was rather pleased with this one, shot with ISO1600.
Will certainly upgrade to the 5DmkII shortly for low light shooting!

I quite like it! In fact, I'd like to see some motion in his face; it seems almost too still amongst all the other whirling elements.

FWIW, I don't find it noisy. Why do you think you need a 5DmkII?

I really love the contrast of the motion with the clear expression in the middle. I think that would have been a difficult moment to capture. Very well done!!

Love pictures like these !
Combination of, more or less, freezed faces along with arms, clothes, legs ... in motion !
Emphasizes action !
Well done Henk !
I have to Google for "Sufi dancers" tough because I have no idea if these are dancers with typical robes/clothing or ....

I like the image, very engaging ethnographically as well as photographically.

Thanks. Was not very impressed with the processing, so here's another one.

Thank you, Scott. The dancers seem to move their face faster than their body and then focus on the same spot somewhere, which is when I pressed the shutter. Have a few with more motion and will check them out.
