Rakesh, accidents make some of the best pictures! This is no exception:-) I love the dancer being almost in silhouette, it makes it mystereous and dramatic:-)

Rachel Rocket
  Rakesh,

Accidental or not, this is a striking photograph. Your composition is wonderful and there's a lot of grace, elegance and style in this shot. The light behind her, makes it appear as if she's on stage and performing. Perhaps my favorite aspect of this photo though, is the very light hint of color in her scarf. It really gives a lot of dimension to the shot itself (and keeps the silhouette from looking flat). Honestly one of the best silhouettes I've seen.

Best,
Rachel
