[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 40340, member: 1573"] Hello, Tomi, and welcome to the forum. I think the subject of your photo is very clear --the focus is on the brisk stride and determination of the lady to go down the stairs. I love the BW version, but then I also tend to be partial to BW. As Pete said, in BW, all the distraction is gone and the focus is back on the lady. However, as I reread your comments, there was something about the colors of the bags and the repetition of the patterns in her jacket and bag, that drew you to make the photo. so you may want to do some "selective desaturation" of the environment, and keep the color combinations of the lady's clothing. My parents are from eastern Europe so I do appreciate what you captured in this photo. There's a lot you could do with this photo in post processing to enhance your vision here. You have to play around with the settings and decide what you want. But the foundation, the emotion and story is there. I hope you will post more photos :-) [/QUOTE]
