a combination of not feeling well and heavy rain outside seemed to make for a perfect time to process my shots from the carnival - and boy was it a slog. having narrowed down my list to 100 i set about just doing really simple crops and contrast adjustments. the issues arose when i had shots i liked with a random blurry head or hand obscuring the subject. if i couldn't, or didn't want to, get around this with cropping i'd try and clone it out. this resulted in a long, long day and my patience and enthusiasm was very much waning towards the end. this was actually the last shot i processed, and was taken at about the halfway point of the show. believe it or not this girl was dressed fairly conservatively compared to a lot of the other performers.

here's the original
