    Chicken dancers

    Taken at the ball game last night. The light and shadows were brutal.

    Re: Chicken dancers

    It's hard to tell what is really going on in this photograph..
    For one, it seems like you were trying to get the girl as the main subject, but my eye goes back and forth between her and the others.
    Also there just isn't enough information to get a good feel for what is going on.
    Perhaps you could have backed off some or maybe got in front of them.
    I think the light is good.
    Had you been able to get in front of them, perhaphs you could have used some fill flash.
    Keep Shooting!

    good point ! Actually it was cropped down from a larger shot. I just thought the expressions of the kids would be better seen this way.
