 Dancers on stage listening to the speeches after the performances had finished. Camera was hand-held, no flash.
I converted this to black and white because behind the girl on the left there was another performer dressed in red which was extremely distracting.
Crop, resize, reduce noise, sharpen, border, convert to b/w, levels, photo filter sepia, sfw. I went back in and tweaked the exposure coz it looked a bit flat. It's hard to know where to draw the line between too much contrast and not enough, and there's just so much you can do in basic.

I really like this, but the focus seems just a little soft and it is smoothed a little more than I would prefer.

My daughter (Who is an authority on these things, ya' know) says that the faster a blond twirls her hair, the more ditzy she is.
