O Realejo - Street Photography

[kauelima]

This weekend i went out on my first Street Photography session. This is the shot i liked most on the session. The guy is an oldschool fortune teller here in Brazil. They are almost gone nowadays so i thought it would be a great opportunity to shot this one. The guy was actually posing for a friend of mine but i think that i was able to get a good comp on this one.


I really pumped the blacks and the contrast on this one had to bring a little of the exposure back after contrasting.


Would love any kind of CC, everything helps me to grow!

I like the color and the bokeh is nice. His facial expession is lacking here. His eyes look like they are closing. You have chopped off his hand and the rest of the things he is holding which would have helped to tell this story. I would have cloned the guy walking out of the frame out of the image. I like alot of contrast in images so this works for me, but I can't tell you about your exposure because I am on my laptop.
