Pirouette

Impressions Dance Troupe - Winter 2007 Recital

Originally, I did a good deal of work to remove the unnecessary background elements and the strip of tape on the floor, but I finally decided that for this image, I wanted those elements... because those elements were actually there. (That and I don't like heavily editing the photos I put up here).

I did leave in one edit though... she was looking up at her hand, which made her pupils barely visible -- very freaky. So I "gave her" some pupils .
