Very nice Jurgen. Your great sharpness and exposure was really needed here to seperate those heads of hair, well done. Excellent conversion to mono too.
I had my ears syringed in the park in Chengdu while watching the senior citizens dancing.

Jurgen

[GB1]

Yes, very nice capture. There is a bit of distraction in the back behind them, but it still separates nicely.

Thank you No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain!

I think I know this one.

There is a tea shop in Chengdu that is outdoors, and they have people go around a clean your ears out and other things for a price.

Who said Television (Travel Channel) isn't educational!

This is a fun image.

I'm thinking you could lighten it a bit and crop some off the left to really focus in on the smiling girl.

[yogestee]

What do you think MB1?? The jury is still out here..

I don't know about MB but I like the tight crop better.

[DrRoebuck]

I like the tighter crop better as well. It's still too dark where the first and second girls' heads meet. Too much detail lost. At the same time, something looks wrong with the lightening you've already done. The tones look artificial. If you shot this in RAW maybe you can play with EXP compensation.
