I wonder if you could explain what I could do to improve the "mood and the "composition".

I was invited to photograph at Blanco Museum in Bali. It so happened that Balinese dance rehearsals were arranged for that day and I was lucky enough to see and photograph the dancers (IG: @Pebria_Satyani and IG:@mangagust) I did not know the program and therefore was no preparation. Luckily, sequences were repeated and after a couple of sequences, I was able to follow the rhythm and understand the story.

Lens 16-35mm @FL:32mm, f2.8; f11; Sony A1; 1/16; ISO:125; Glodox Srode @1" interval.

Hello Francisco

Thank you for sharing this enchanting rehearsal photo from Bali with us. I never take much notice of the suggestions in the circle because they are often the same for both circles which presumably just reflects different opinions. In terms of composition, I guess many viewers might prefer to have the performers looking into the photo rather than out of it, but I don't think that negates its worth. I would love to see this published and awarded on 1x. All I have done is to increase the clarity to give it a little more impact.

Good light, Elizabeth

P.S. Apologies for adding two identical images.
