    Another shot of a dancer @ Vancouver's Canada Day 2005

    I got another shot of this dancer but this time off my digicam. When I resized the photo it got less sharp and the original wasn't razor sharp to begin with, but what do you think? Can't see her face at all this time but it's a different kind of shot. Thanks.

    Here's an external link that is closer to what the original looked like:

    Good subject, but I think that an angle where you would have her against the stage background would work much better. Aslo, as you pointed out, it might also be nice to see her face and expression. The colors are nice here.

    The blur doesn't hurt the photo.... IMO..... it might even enhance it.

    Thanks for the comments. I got to this event late and didn't feel too comfortable going right in front of the stage especially when it was a low stage (about 3 feet off the ground only) with everybody already seated and watching so I was stuck standing on the side of the stage. The blur was tricky because in my case, I think it could have been either have been artistic motion blur or just photographer error - I had some background elements to look at so I can eliminate unsteady hands but it could still have been focussing error. I was just wondering if there was a little bit more blur then it'd look like intentional motion blur.
