Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
The original shot is badly exposed with the background balanced but the subjects under-exposed. I don't do many B&W, give me thoughts please!

anyone else? What's a guy got to do to get ripped around here :gah::Joker:
 
Why i see through the child's head or is that me? ;)

Regards :D


Wow, I hadn't noticed that! Weird. Must be something from my processing. :(

Thanks!
 
Hahaha... it is actually the shadow of the hat that fell in line with her scarf appearing like a continuity ;)

Regards :D
 
lol, that's it. The original exposure had the faces severely under exposed. I didn't have more time to compose, it was point and shoot --> done.
 
For a photo taken in the manner you are describing, and with all the "let's-see-if-I-can-save-it"-PP you did to it, it did come out nicely, after all. So nothing too much there to "rip you up" for, I say. Even though, of course, it does show that you had to apply all this PP to it. But I do agree in that it was too precious a moment to miss, and their faces are too beautiful not to have been captured! You brought their eyes out well. And I believe that B&W was the way to go here as it masks some of the efforts to save this one some.
 
Well seen and said, I thank you! :thumbup:

The color was just to vivid no matter how much I tried in my sincerely ameteurish ability and distracted too much from the emotion I wanted to display; The beauty, the sadness, the harsh reality. I sit comfortably on the tour boat as people fight for their daily existance.
