Chicago provides some lunchtime programs at Daley Plaza in the Loop. (If you have ever visited Chicago and seen the famous Picasso statue, that is located in Daley Plaza.) Often the programs highlight ethnic music and dances and, on 28 Jun 2007, they featured Arabian music and dance. I happened to be in the Loop that day and took some photos. Included are three photos of the dancers.

Arabian Dancer (2007-06-28 11-17-06a)
The photo was taken at the Chicago Arabesque an Arab festival at Daley Plaza, Chicago, Illinois (Loop).
I used a Panasonic DMC-FZ50 camera to take the photo. Then I used ACDSee Ultimate 9.3 to adjust the lighting and boost the contrast, vibrance and saturation.

Arabian Dancer (2007-06-28 11-09-50b)
The photo was taken at the Chicago Arabesque an Arab festival at Daley Plaza, Chicago, Illinois (Loop).
I used a Panasonic DMC-FZ50 camera to take the photo. I then used Luminar 2018 to use the Develop filter to adjust the exposure, highlights, shadows, contrast, whites and clarity. I also applied the Accent - AI, Polarizing and Denoise filters and boost the saturation and vibrance. I used the erase tool to get rid of a person who distracted from the dancer and a cable running in the background, then I cropped a bit.
