Black Hat Dancer

This is an image of a Black Hat Dancer taken at a festival in Central Bhutan in 2013. These dancers performance is meant to drive evil spirits from the festival area, and they work themselves into an almost trance like state. I was really pleased to be able to capture both the movement of the dance and the concentration in the dancer’s face.

Editing notesI have been using ON1 since Apple Aperture stopped being supported. This image was edited using ON1 as follows - General adjustment of Tone and Colour; In Effects - Dynamic Contrast applied to dancer; Colour Enhancer to whole image to bring out reds and oranges; Glow to whole image; Colour Enhancer applied to part of dancer's sleeve to reduce blue colour and remove distraction; Big Softy vignette applied to reduce impact of background.
