backfile: resurrecting day of the dead 2008

I had to go to the archives for this one. It's an image from Tzintzuntzan from last year. I always liked this one because of the position of the young girl, her blue dress, and the candle in her hand. However, I always had a problem with the background: it overpowered her. Sooooo here I go...into (gulp) Photoshop to dramatize what I saw that day or if  you will, to interpret the way I wanted the picture to speak to me and to you. So for the purists out there: YES. I USED PHOTOSHOP. Do they put photographers in prison for that?  I think it adds the surreal quality I wanted to express. Tell me if it works for you.
