Many people suggested increasing the contrast, so here is a version with bumped contrast.

I'm in two minds about it... in some ways I do prefer it, but in others I liked the subtlety of the original...

This is the version I producing using Bibble. Lots more saturation.

Better or worse?

Okay, here's another attempt. There's some against TE-rules stuff here ;)

- happy medium contrast between original and Eric's
- cloned out the girl... not perfect but good enough ;)
- removed a white spot from the boy's forehead because it *looked* like a camera problem
- slightly more sharpening (as Eric did)

:)

ok, mostly, i wanted to knock up your framing and cut out that girl. i was quite severe though, which is probably not to everyone's taste.

i also converted it to b&w ... just for fun. most important is the framing.

thanks for sharing this photograph lewis. i hope you don't mind my edit! :)

cheers

i played with levels, contrasts, colors and sharpening. I hope you like it.

After a few months I came up with a different version of this shot, figured I should post it.

This was converted to B&W using the channel mixer in Bibble to make the red bag less striking.

The USM might be slightly different to the one applied to the colour RP.

1) Different aspect, I like the composition a bit more like this, the tree at the top just adds distracting detail.
2) A bit of dodge on the face, and subsequently the arm to bring them out a bit.
3) Curves to try and make the whole photo a bit less dark.

Hope you like it :)

Dear Lewis,
I felt that your sky was too beautiful to be so much in the dark. So I brightened it up.
I hope you like it,
Anu

Took some of the background away. If the Mao pic was full it may be better?
