Kebyar duduk, named for the semi-seated position dancers take, is a Balinese dance form first created by I Mario and performed in 1925. It involves a lone male dancer who takes up mostly seated or half-seated positions, sometimes spinning in circles, and using his body language (especially the eyes) to convey emotion.Alt – Light removed
Reason
Quite simply put, I think it's brilliant: good technical quality (the little motion blur on the fan can be accepted, as I was shooting at night with stage lighting and he was spinning in circles), shows the costume and position well.
Get rid of the blue reflection that is left over from the removed spotlight, and also the blurry figure in the audience, and the vertical pole. And why not crop the photo to a square? (looks better that way, and horizontal space on Wikipedia is more precious than vertical space, so the narrower the photo the better.)
