New image[edit]

I've replaced the image, old image moved here. The new image isn't mine, it's a Creative Commons (by-sa) I uploaded from Flickr. Why the change? New image is more colorful, showcases the dancers more effectively, but I did try to keep the same anonymous feel -- the dancers in both photos are facing away from the camera. By the way, this page seems a little out of date, it doesn't have any 2008 specific info. Hopefully it will get more attention. --Martinship (talk) 10:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 seems to have extremely low visibility and regretfully CID used the occasion for self-promotion rather than celebration. `'Míkka >t 14:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
