This is a really stunning shot! I like that the subjects are facing away from the camera -- rather unconventional, IMO.

Yanny, this is pretty much how the background actually looked, color and all, but some lines on the wall have been removed. I also managed to cut off one of the dancer's hands and hat, and Mike Fitzgerald was kind enough to reconstruct them for me. Helen

Very good capture Helen. Did you knock the background off? If yes you did a good job with your masking too. Yanny
