Keith_W Posted October 2, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2018 The background looks as if it has been heavily photoshopped. The trees have a light outline around it as if it has been magic wanded with a low tolerance. If this is true I suggest you attempt a re-edit. Otherwise, I love the subject. Well spotted! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely over processed. I reduced the blue to darken the sky and increased the red to lighten the people. I read somewhere that street photography isn't expected to be technically perfect. If I had a monochrome camera, perhaps I could have used a red filter. Thank you for commenting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted October 4, 2018 Share #6 Posted October 4, 2018 Would you be able to post an un-edited version of this photo? It has so much potential. It is not my intention to drag you down, but I think that if the processing was more skillfully done it would be an absolute cracker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always willing to learn. It's not possible to upload the full res version, so here's the best I can send. Welcome, dear visitor!

otto.f Posted October 4, 2018 Share #8 Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Yeah, difficult. I bet that if Keith just had seen the original, he wouldn’t have noticed that he loved the subject. So the way it is postprocessed makes it stand out, transforms the image to some message, can’t put into words what message. But for me it goes too far beyond reality to like it. It seems as though the persons are cut out with scissors and pasted onto a separate background with palms and a sky that aren’t credible anymore. To get a message to work it should be more on the brink between theatre and reality I think Edited October 4, 2018 by otto.f Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Naylor Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted October 4, 2018 the brink between theatre and reality I appreciate your comment, but please elaborate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted October 4, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 4, 2018 I meant that the persons and the background look too artificial now. You could also have made a surreal or magic realistic painting, but this is a photo. And to make it work it should look as if it could have been real, this image is artificial 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted October 8, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 8, 2018 I'm with Otto, the idea was very nice, but the DNG was too dull and flat, mainly because exposition was not properly set. The b&w result looks like a painting by Guy Peellaert or cut silhouettes on a background. I suppose that when doing street photography the difficult part is matching the view and the exposition.
