Young Chinese Worker C&C

[echoyjeff2221]

I was walking through Qian'amen, a part of Beijing filled with lots of different shops and food vendors. I was trying to show the grittiness of the job, juxtaposed with the fact that it's a young boy working at such a place.

I'm wondering what you guys think of it ... I like the concept a lot, but is the processing okay? Thanks!

Too much contrast for my tastes. I can't tell where his arm ends and his apron begins. A lot of the highlights are blown-out as well. I think you went a little overboard with the processing.

I agree; I think the processing could be dialled down a tad, but I like the image.

Okie, will redo I'll upload it momentarily ... lol.

I'm glad that you like the concept though, tirediron!

How's this?

Much, much better in my opinion. Now see if you can get a little bit of light on his face. His expression of boredom is interesting but difficult to see in the shadow.
