Hi

The chap on the right makes me chuckle. Looks like you had some fun.

It is quite saturated. I would be tempted to calm it down a little - keep an eye on the red bag and when it doesn't 'glow' you will be closer

[graciousness]

+1 on what Nicole said. Tone down the saturation then you will have it spot on.

The composition, I find, is ok, but could have really benefited from less tight crop. It does feel a little crowded and that bright object on the left doesn't help. It's too distracting. If you have the original, I would play around with your cropping again and put more top and bottom to the shot, possibly a little more left and right. I would clone out that object to the left if you can.

Just a technical question - was it really necessary to have used ISO @ 500 in this outdoor shot? It seems a bit high....

[NicoleScraps]

Yep, too saturated. Definitely agree with that. Is this the original crop? I think this would be great if you could see the legs of people in the first row and if the lady in the back didn't have the top of her head cropped off. I would agree that you should probably clone or crop out the object on the left. Otherwise, I think it is a really nice shot.

Agree with all of the above about the saturation. Also, I'd have moved (or cloned out) the bag/stuff on the left side of the frame.

I like your tone, feels like a slight case of cross-processing.. am i right?

[mral]

yeah now I know that its to much saturated.thanks.
and yes I do the cross-processing technique.
I still need to learn more.thank you
