Dramatic Black & White -- iheartfaces contest!

I was lucky enough to be asked by one of my best friends, Michelle, (who is an amazing belly dancer!) to come and take some pictures of her group of Belly Dancers, who we rehearsing for a big show the next day. Now, I was having some issues with my flash, and lighting was giving me troubles as well, so I was nervous that none of the pictures would have come out the way I wanted... But as soon as I got home and uploaded them I realized the lighting was PERFECT for the mood I wanted and was almost glad the flash decided to be stubborn that day.

This picture stood out the most to me, and seems like everyone else that saw the pics, also took notice of this particular one, as well. And for good reason! She's unique, beautiful and talented, and I think this picture captures her perfectly. Make sure to click on it to get the bigger version!
