The military police taken in one shot together with the portrait of the great leader Mao what is still mounted at the gate of the vorbidden city.

Did some minor PP in Gimp just to get away from the slight blurr in the image. Some contrast and tone adjustment is usually needed to compensate web-resolution.

this is the finished version of the shot.



a small frame keeps the edges crisp and sharp and shows the full effect of post processing.



what did i do?



contrast +15

brightness +10

saturation +10



unsharpen mask



enjoy! :)

this is a shot i did in two layers. the bottom layer was your shot, unprocessed. the top layer is my processed version. i cut the two together to show the difference.
