Hi Steve,
Colour! The only downside is that colour allows one to identify minor flaws in the costumes/masks more easily - I wonder whether treatment with a painterly process like Chuck uses might be worth a try. Or some PP repairs
You've obviously done some PP to isolate them from the background, at first I thought they were a professional, posed commission rather than shot's on the night. They are good clear, sharp shots, well done.
Cheers,
Thanks Dave
