Raw editing contest #25
« on: November 29, 2016, 23:02:34 »
Here; a taste of what I do this time of year - the annual dance show in town. 14 shows over 2 weekends.
Process at will...normal, crazy, whatever.
File from a D750, ISO 3200, shot with a TAMRON SP 70-200mm F2.8 Di VC at 125mm.

Thank you Sten for the image.

It seems that members are interested in Masking which I take it is for Compositing.

I did not put any shadows for the feet as I want to keep the magic/suspended look and feel of the picture.
I also avoided transparent clouds on the feet/legs which will again change the pic atmos. I just put a wee little for balance.

Here you go......

Yes, excellent cutout and very good white balance too!

I went a tad boring I think - playing the "safe" card  :-\

Nice action pic   -tried to focus on the skin colours.       Those red lights are not helping  ;)

A bit similar to Armando, I notice now.....

Another removal of colour, preserving all the high energy expressions.
