looks very good to me in all aspects. I like the effect of having focused on the "wrong" dancer: the BG dancer are sharp (and important) and it seems that the guy is fighting for their attention but he remains blurred (and neglected by them). The technical quality of this shot is remarkable for e-500 and ISO640. And your color and contrast processing is excellent.

I like this style too and the main figures are shown beautifully. I have one minor niggle - the thing on the wall behind the man's raised arm. I just wish it wasn't there. Really nice processing.

Thanks Adrian for your kind comments. I actually like the symbol in the background I feel it adds to the mystique. It's a masonic symbol, as the prior occupants of the building were Freemasons.
