Shot from passenger seat.

While my work partner was driving, I took this shot out his window of a gentleman sitting curbside at a laundry mat in Brooklyn, N.Y. I haven't taken may shots like this.

interesting.. I think the vignette detracts from the Image

Yes, very interesting, and I agree that the vignette is not a worthwhile element.

What all have you done in post?

 

[texkam]

Kill vignette, dodge face, de-emphasize boots.

 

[amolitor]

Very nice! The vignette does distract and detract, but without it the bottom of the frame is going to be awfully bright and I think the picture's going to be damaged. Possibly just burn the bottom of the frame down pretty good. You could probably crop the bottom a bit as well, to reduce the giant bright mass.

Here is the original. I didn't edit it. A friend did so I can't speak to what they did.

I think the man distracts from the vignette.

The original color palette is much nicer. A bit of this, a bit of that, this is how I see it:

Yes, amolitor brought up the shadows inside the building, but I kinda liked the garish supersaturation in the OP.

As a composition it's mostly about the juxtaposition of the two seated figures, so I wanted to bring the other one out more.
