Photographer's Note

Girls wearing costumes of Bai nationality in the old city of Dali. it cost me 5 yuan to take a picture of them, which was worth it (coz it's cheep!).
btw i couldnt reduce the noise, workshops are welcome.

This is a really nice composition. The noise is a bit bothersome, though. See my workshop.

Hi Linda, I fiddled with it too, but didn't manage to do much but make it blurry! I've posted the workshop anyway; maybe you can fiddle with it, too. Even in this photo, however, you may have used too much Unsharp Mask. Take a look at the girl's face behind the yellow vest. Her cheek has some added haloing, perhaps due to Unsharp Mask. If you go back to your original file, you may be able to do the things found in these workshops that could help you. By the way-- I love this photo: the faces the colors, the candid quality. It really works for me.
