Well captured expression and nice angle. Can do with a bigger aperture to blur the background more though.

Can try submitting this to the Great Eastern contest.

P.S. Maybe can try panning, the effect might be nice.

Yes, agreed. Would have been nice to have the background a bit more blurred.

However, I deliberately selected a smaller aperture. The subject was moving very fast, and I wanted to make sure the depth of field was deep enough to keep her (and her whole body) in focus. Besides, I was using the 20mm, so the bokeh would not have been very nice anyway.

Your next option: panning.

I thought the 9-blade design of the Sigma 20mm can give you a very good 'bokeh'. No?

it does give good bokeh. But, hey, 20mm...how shallow DOF can u get with a 20mm?
