 We are in the throes of a local festival called "Old Spanish Days", and performances by flamenco dancers have become very popular. I thought it would be cool to get a shot of some of the musicians "framed" by the dancers. (Shooting through the dancers to the musicians. Get it??? 8P)

In CS3 I pulled the exposure down a stop and used the render>lighting effects filter to put more emphasis on the musician.

I have a textures hangover from the last challenge, so I used a textured brush to do some of the erasing of the vignette from the lighting filter. There was also some heavy-duty cloning to get rid of an advertisement from a banking institution and some cables on the floor.

Extremely effective. Zeros in on the action while setting the mood.
Well done.

I like it, nice colors. I think it would look even nicer if you crop the sign on the top.
