If you look closely you can see a couple of the
kids' glow sticks glowing in the dark. The blue
on in the middle of the image is easy to see,
the red one around the neck of the little boy
next to the standing adults on the right is less
obvious. The silhouette was what I was shooting
for, the glow sticks I only noticed post processing.
