About the Image(s)
We were entertained by a dance troupe during a stopover in Cartagena, Columbia. This particular dancer caught my eye because she was very colorful
and smooth in her performance. I thought I'd try to make a dance poster of my shot. After blanking out the background I applied a high intensity color mask using Topaz studio 2. I then applied a bleach mask to blow out the border area and create the look you see here. YES the saturation is enhanced by way of the masks on purpose to draw your attention to the highly intense image.
