Thanks for commenting this image. I just uploaded it for the PrestoPhoto book project, because it had been chosen as a second in the June issue of the newsletter.

What is interesting is that I was really much surprised to be chosen since it was an awfully overexposed shot to begin with. If you want to check, you can download the original raw file:

As you can see, the highlights are completely blown out, and ACR cannot do wonders: the highlight recovery is hardly possible with wrong colors... So I chose not to play againt contrast, rather to play with it since a simplification of the attitudes of the dancers seemed possible. I have just had a look at the ACR settings I did use: the only significant change was setting the temperature to 6000 instead of 4200. I don't think there was much editing in PSE6 afterwards. This gave the warm look and simplification of color as well; that seemed to fit the energic attitudes of the dancers.
