Street performer

I'd done a B&W version of this right away. Tried doing a color one this time. Cleaned it up a bit (but I can see things to fix already) too. The skin tone was hard to get right. There seem to be three different 'bad' (spiky spectrum) light sources lighting her so I had to use masks and the channel mixer in Darktable. I think the rendering in this version looks like Ektachome 200 (maybe the tungsten version) from 1980s with the colors a bit subdued. Anyway that's what I was shooting for. An altogether different effect than the B&W version, I think.

These got more comments than I thought they would, so I'll tell the story they come with. This woman and [apparently] her pal performed on Istiklal street (Istanbul) for a week or so in late 2016. I don't think they were regular buskers, I suspect they were music students or something like that. Dichtung & Wahrheit (Poetry and Truth) kindly identified the instrument as a hang. I saw these women twice. The first time I had no change and it was a bit early for this mood. This is from the second time. Haven't seen them there since.
