Default Papantla flyers

Hi all, I took this pic in Chichen-Itza, Yucatan, Mexico, close to Kukul can pyramid.
The Papantla flyers were performing their act.
Absolutly amazing dance!!
Pic taken with Kodakcolor film Ultra 400 & Canon EOS Rebel G, later scanned
Because of this there is no EXIF info
Can you please critic composition and saturation?
Thanks
Art

I just saw this act a few weeks ago. It really is amazing.

Without Exif info, it is difficult to tell wha you should do differently. This is a difficult subject to shoot. They were constantly moving and were very high off the ground. Composition might be a little too centered to make it interesting. Perhaps if it were to the side or at an angle?
The blue color of the sky contrasts nicely with the white and red.

Thanks Linda for your comments, unfortunatelly since I started with traditional film and later migrate to digital, some of my post will be on that way.

I agrre with your comments on the center, but since the are expandaing in the air with their ropes every loop, I could not have time enough to seek different angles as you mentioned.

Thanks Art
