Default Just a few people

Working on different post processing effects. Not sure what really feels "right"

But these were fun to work on.

Another interesting set. I like all three but I think I like the one where one lady is getting something out of the eye of the other the best. Keep 'em coming!

I agree with f-stop. And the color selection is great, I had to look again to make sure that that is what I was seeing.

Thank you, to my steadfast fans

Any ideas where I should go next with post processing?

I like these. I could sit here forever and make up stories on how all three are somehow intertwined

Thumbs up

These are all wonderful! Really like the PP you did, and I agree, the third is definitely my favorite. I also kind of like the way the guy in the second one stands out of the frame a bit.

I'm not sure where you should go next, but I did want to mention that the masking around the two ladies in the third image seems a little bit soft in places, particularly around their shoulders. Not too distracting though.

These images are nice a clean and really tell a story. Nice work!

Thanks Sandee. The third one I did using a mouse that is not quite as accurate, and I was trying to use some feathering as well since the image was not as "crisp"

I notice a lot of street photographs have quite a bit of motion blur to them, which I'm still not (technically) comfortable with.

Street shooting really takes a different eye though then normal shots.
Time is so fleeting.
