    Re: Girl feeding pigeons

    Great catch.
    With some cropping and cloning this could work great.
    The girl is positioned perfectly.
    Keeping the same horizontal/vertical ratio I would crop down to just the girl and pigeons in front of her and the one to her side. The other pigeons either are chopped off or would be with a crop.
    You could drop the exposure too. Did you shoot raw?

    Have you played with it in b/w or sepia? Might work.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Girl feeding pigeons

    This one has a classic feeling to it, Pedro. I am not sure about the processing and whether it was really necessary, but it also simplifies things a bit and I guess that adds a nice feeling. One thing that I would fix though is the white area on the bottom right and top: the photo may be more abstract if those were cloned out, especially the bottom one. Nice colors too.

    It is a great shot. I think it would be better straight.

    Re: Girl feeding pigeons

    The straight image had a problem with lights. Anyway, I saw the final image more or less like this so that's what I wanted to obtain. Thank you for your remark Don!
