A chance encounter with the Cadaver Dans and Adam's 75mm mounted to my camera made for some shooting outside my comfort zone. I never shoot at that focal range (150mm equivalent) and I rarely ever shoot street performers in the parks. That needs to change though, because characters like the Cadaver Dans (the Dapper Dans by daylight) are as much a part of the park's sights & sounds as the attractions and architecture.
Processing the shot (in Lightroom 5)
This shot was poorly framed with half a cadaver on the left side of the frame (part of his sleeve is still visible in this shot). I Wanted to focus on the two Dans pictures above since they were more in focus which left me with a square crop.
I brought the exposure down a pinch to darken the shot and pushed the clarity slider up slightly to give it a bit of an edge.
Then, to add more punch I pushed up the purple, blue, red and yellow saturations individually.
The shot isn't a sharp as I would have liked, so pushed the sharpening slider just slightly to tighten things up.
I had one of the Dan's thumbs in the shot, so I used to spot removal tool to take it out (no Dan's were harmed in the removing of the thumb).
Even with a post crop vingette the background upper-middle of the shot was a bit too bright and distracting so I went in the adjustment brush and selectively dropped down the highlights and the exposure.
Then, off to Flickr it went via Jeffrey Friedl's "Export to Flickr" plugin.
Thanks for looking, and a very merry Boo to You!
Have a great day,
-Alan

The Cadaver Dan's gave a chilling performance at the Haunted Mansion's 50 Years of Retirement Unliving event.
This was the show we watched to kick off the halloween party. I really enjoyed the dark clouds behind them for the photo
The Cadaver Dans entertain guests before the Boo To You Parade which is part of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. You may have seen this barbershop quartet on Main Street USA during the day as the more lively Dapper Dans.
