Yet another one of the children at the library, i really find the black and white captures the rythm in their life aswell as their spirited selves, yet as photos normally do bring it all to still life to tell a tale no one will really know

love the cynical contrast between emotions and trademarks, individual reality and social fiction.

i thought about my first workshop, and i think that the framing is not good enough ... so i wanted to tighten the frame to focus on the boy's beautiful face.



1. crop

2. brighten +50

3. contrast +10

4. gradient mask (to remove some of the glare from his forehead)

5. black frame

6. resize



i think this is better than my first one.



the boy's face is the subject ... so cropping it tightly would be a good way to keep the focus on the subject.

ps ... sorry for doing two workshops! :)

my traditional crop and colour.



i've brightened this photo considerably, as well as adding some contrast. a thick black frame makes the photograph appear more clean.



of course, everyone has their own opinion ... but i think this is an improvement.
