Comments:
"It's quite an honor. I know a lot of people enter these contests
and there are a lot of good pictures out there. I'm glad the judges
liked mine.. . . We cover community news at our paper pretty extensively
and I was assigned to shoot at a show featuring African-American
and Caribbean-Amercian dancers at a community center. I just hung
out in the front row with a wide-angle lens and tried different
techniques. Everything just kind of came together in that frame."

the photographer gets the magic of it all. It's good composition
with excellent aesthetics of the movements."
