Took leaving the Tiananmen Square. This was one of 3 or 4 children who were begging for money and follwing anyone who looked like they had money. My first day in China was a pretty emotional experience.

First I've played with levels to get a higher contrast. Then sharpened it a little bit and used a layer mask and gradient tool to get the darkened corners effect and make the photo look more dramatic. Finally, added a black frame.



Best regards
