Addressing this comment:
"heavily processed to plug into this challenge":

The PP in Lightroom involves two masks - AI selection of people and its inverse. The main PP on people had negative Exposure, on the inverse background negative Dehaze, is this "heavy processing"? The blue toning came from Dehaze, it was not added in PP.

Would I really want to just to "plugin" an image while competing in DPL? My teammates liked the image and the result of my PP and hence I entered it in a DPL challenge. I was hoping that its strangeness and originality will help the team win Round 5.

PS Thanks to Lev for the clever title :)

Yes. If we saw the original, would it be a silhouette? Probably not.

Fun color tones, although the people look totally manipulated and this appears to be a daylight image that's been heavily processed to plug into this challenge.
