critique, wk 2

This week I've been working on the ballerina feature for Feb. 8th and an illustration. For my first draft, I chose pictures that I though represented the story I wanted to tell. Basically, I wanted to say this through the images; Karen comes to Columbia from a big city to start a ballet company. Her company puts on a show that is very popular. I went with a black background because I loved the three, kind of moody pictures with Karen and the dancers during their performance. On screen, the black background looks great, but it does not look good on print. So black background is out. My first drafts usually tend to be very safe and predictable and as I keep working on this feature, I hope I end up with a very nice photo story that's well put together yet slightly different.
