Re: Woman in Red Coat

If you really feel it's an improvement, go right ahead, it is after all still your shot.

Re: Woman in Red Coat

Very effective shot Don. The red coat against the desaturated back ground works great. Nice shot.

Re: Woman in Red Coat

Excellent, Don. This shot has alot of style, yours, and character. I love the framing and the direction she is walking in. The branch above seems to reach out and point her out, as if we needed it to with that red coat. I wonder if she is walking towards the red house in which she may live. . . Great work.
btw, I like the dirty bus window filter, but have not a bag big enough for one yet.

Re: Woman in Red Coat

Thanks guys.Zen: Very interesting effects. Just ride buses with dirty windows, you don't need a bag.
