That's a very interesting and unusual image, despite the pretty girls.
<G>   I like the way you dealt with the very bright areas ad the dark
areas, without totally losing anything.  Even the head of hair in the
lower left, while perhaps a bit distracting, adds depth to the scene
and implies more action than can be shown in the frame.

Thanks Dan.  I used a little more technique than "spray and pray" but not much. 
 As with fire dancers, this is one case where I use the autoexposure with the AF540.  I 
just expose for the lights, and fill with the flash.  I bumped the ISO up to 800 so I 
could bounce the flash and not get too beaten up too bad by inverse square blowing out 
the people in the foreground.

The composition may have been purely luck, as I took a lot of the shots with 
the camera over my head so I could get a clear shot past the crowds watching.  
But, as has been discussed, I'm still immature enough in my photographic 
development that I still consider pretty girls to be a feature, rather than a 
bug.

If I'm lucky, I too will outgrow my present fascination with imaging
expressions of femininity. :-) Beware the siren call, Larry, lest you
too start looking for suitable LBDs and Fendi heels. Unless it's for
yourself. I understand that that's ok.

I've got the sinking feeling that photos of pretty girls is a level of 
mediocrity that I'm never going to rise above.
As a matter of fact, I spent the evening tonight at the Santa Cruz Museum of 
Art and History, and what did I end up taking photos of?
