    Just a little wider angle, or further back.
    So the light on the right and the foot at the bottom aren't clipped.

    Would agree with Paul there but I like the shot. The girls face in the background caught my attention. Seems way too peaceful/serene for the shot/environment. Kinda cool contrast.

    Re: round and round

    I'd crop in from the right up to their bodies and crop down from the top too. You have a nice blur there. There are lot of things you could do here with saturation and exposure to get a real abstract look.

    I'd say this is a nice enough image and a great start on getting a really good image. Just keep shooting.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: round and round

    I think the first one (where's it gone?) was better.
    More faces, closer to the action.
    This looks a but too far away.

    I don't think you need the whole thing in, no.
