The motion on the back of the new 6 is nice, but I wish your hands were in a different position. As another dancer, I can imagine that you just dropped the edges of your skirt, but something about the way you have your hands positioned makes me imagine you have your skirt hem on strings and you're moving it up and down with your hands like a marionette.

LOL. You always have some funny/witty comments in your posts

I agree about the position of the first picture. My facial expression captures the softness and love I'm looking for but not the rest of my body. I hesitated a lot before using this one but I'll at least see if I can manage to crop it nicely.

Thank you!! But I'm still not sold. I'm doing another photoshoot on Feb. 16th so hopefully I'll get better pictures to combine together....

But the back of the new 5 is gorgeous. Your engaging smile is a beautiful contrast to the more serious facial expressions in the other shots.

Thank you for your comments!

I still think the black with the candle tray is very striking as a front. Then a softer back with a smile and veil would be lovely.

depending on the cash level if/when you put it up, yes i so would! i'm glad it's making you happy! you look gorgeous in it ;)
thanks hun! :)

So 4 months and a photo-shoot later, I think I'm finally satisfied with something!!! Let me know what you ladies think

The text placement still needs some tweaking (the word dancer is way too close to the right hand side!) But for now I'm happy with the overall result. I've seriously gone through 40 different options...!!! Please tell me its good

I think it's beautiful! I *love* the new photo on the front.

Minor spelling correction: the back should read "enseignante" in the feminine rather than "enseignant".

Great work on the new design!

Lovely! (As are all your photos). This card design shows a diversity of looks and skills, and the design is nice and clean. I like.

Ah! I've been relying a little too much on google translate these days. Merci pour la correction

Yay!

I think it is lovely. You are just amazingly photogenic, wow!

Another small typo is that is says Oritental Dance instead of Oriental Dance. Would be sooo annoying to not see a stupid typo before it went to print, right?

Maybe that could be a good DVD title for Orit's next video

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Hopefully all the corrections are made! Do you think the white font should be bold or not?? Bold makes the text clearer... not brings my eye to the picture rather than the text. What do you think?

If we're nitpicking, I was taught that "award winning" should be hyphenated since both words are modifying "dancer" as a single concept ("award-winning dancer"), but that rule is pretty relaxed unless you're in a formal editing situation. It's not like people will get confused by what is meant in this particular case.

The photos are lovely, and I really like the front layout, but I think I might be tempted to adjust the line spacing at the top of the back so I could go up a point size or add more blackspace to the contact information. The part that tells how customers can contact you is one of the most important features of a business card, and I'm afraid the information looks a bit small and squashed at the bottom, compared to the text at the top.

Good point! I will play around with it. Thank you
