I tried a shallower depth of field, but you're right - the speed of the dancers made it very difficult. It was also a punishingly bright day, so opening the aperture to decrease the depth of field made it nearly impossible to avoid overexposing the shot dreadfully.

Thanks for your comment!

Bill this is really nice shot. I might experiment with a shallower depth of field if you're concerned about background distractions. Considering the rate of movement of the dancer that probably would be quite challenging. I like the tight crop quite a bit even if all the hoops aren't visible and this is a hoop dance. The focus on the expression of the dance is quite appealing. I would recommend that you request exemption from your instructor on curve and level adjustments. Getting accurate whites and blacks is only going to bring a digital image on par with film. Thanks for your comment on my recent submission and welcome to UF.
