Coming My Way Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was taking pictures of Truckee River when I reached this bridge. I saw the shadows of the bridge guardrails and from afar three women coming my way. I aimed the camera, I saw one of the women waving her arms at me, I clicked and took the pictures. When they reached me I thought they will be asking about the picure I took but they asked me in unison, "Where is the River Bistro?" The end of my suspense.

PP Work: Adjust levels control; Increase saturation; Duplicate layer, to blur the far end of the view, then erased the foreground area; Sharpen by USM; Remove noise; Crop; Frame; Reduce size for posting.

Hey Andre, this photo looks doctored, especially things allear blurry which should not be, i.e. I think its a bus stop in the right foreground, the bottom part is in focus and the top blurred! The ladies, the car and the hanging baslet in focus and the rest blurred, its a good effect you have created but I htink I would prefer it if you blurred everything except the ladies!

Well done though the scene is pleasing!
