Hi Guys, Thanks for commenting. I generally do very little in the way of retouching performance images, generally global changes only like colour balance, contrast etc. but in this case I also desaturated and added a little vignette for effect.
So the bright spot I expect is a specular reflection off some stray glitter, the spot beside her is one of four holes in the wall against which this (monthly) show is performed. If I was going to display the images stand-alone I would probably clone it out but if I spent time on each image it would take me an eternity. For this shoot I made 1782 exposures using two cameras over 2 hrs covering 9 acts plus audience shots, I delivered 298 images and found out that my K5IIs + Soigma 18-35/1.8 will bounce from about 1m without apparent ill effect.
