Dance Recital Portraits

Granted, these were impromptu portraits, just grabbed a few before full dress rehearsal this evening.

I am just not a good portrait photographer

These aren't bad at all, AT. Not sure why you are putting yourself down. Morgandance2 is my favourite out of this set. I realize she was dressed up for a performance but either the saturation is little too much or the make up is a little too heavy in the other shots for my taste. Morgandance2 makes her look more natural. If I could make one small note I'd suggest either a "large cut" or "no cut" but chopping off the last inch or so of her elbow makes it feel awkward.

Morgandance 2 and Maddydance 3 for me. The poses and surroundings just seem to balance well.
