Aztec Dance

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? I like that the photographer chose to go tight on the dancer rather than show the wider scene. The effect is that it becomes not so much about the movement of the dance but the energy of the dancer, which is interesting. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
