Stage photo 1

Hello, this is from yesterday. Live show in Córdoba, Spain. Not very productive day but I still manage to savage some images. I put this one up for your consideration. Way bigger crop than I would like and some manipulation in Photoshop. Very unusual -for me-

  C&C welcome.

[Tristin]

Really cool shot!  Only CC I can come up with is the image appears a bit tilted, to the left.  Perhaps I could be wrong.  I hope the performer gets a copy of this image. 

[Jakov Minić]

Very nice, Paco!

[stenrasmussen]

Yeeees...I like!
If I may suggest though: Intensify the red and rotate it clockwise just a tad.

[Jan Anne]

Awesome Paco, great light and the falling red feathers on the black background really make the image for me.

[Anirban Halder]

Mind blowing shot. I'm amazed with the light, red feathers and how perfect is the moment when shutter was clicked.

[golunvolo]

Thank you all for the responses and suggestions. This is a second option with brighter and more saturated red as well as some increased contrast as well.

Great shot

v2 is an improvement IMO

[Alex Cejka]

Well done!  Agreed about the 2nd version being better.

[Akira]

The second version does look improved.  You captured a fine moment.

I may want to trim the left side to put the dancer in the center, though...

[Jørgen Ramskov]

Wonderful shot! I like the crop and as Jan Anne says, the falling leaves really adds to the image.

[golunvolo]

Thank you all for your input. So far V2 is having better reponses, not only here so thanks again for your generous suggestions.
  I have tried to make the image perfectly straight and also to crop it to put the dancer in the center but I feel it looks better with those "imperfections" for the lack of a better word, because it gives movement and calls my attention?. Feel free to present a different view.

A few more from the same night.

wonderful series

And  I think 237 is just brilliant

[Akira]

The stage set using lamps hanging from above looks much better in these additional images, and I love the last two very much.

In comparison, the thread (chain?) hanging from the lamp in the first image is really distracting to me and it degrade the picture.  I remember seeing the similar stage setting in your iamge a while ago and thought the thread (tied to the on-off switch?) distracting, too.

Of course, it is not your fault, but I didn't like them, at least to my taste...
