Hanging Out

[wilgk]

I can only agree with others, on both the beauty of the lady and your capture of her. I'm wondering if the foreground OOF person is more of a distraction due to the colour shape of the telescope?
I find my eye bouncing between those 2 elements in the frame, rather than settling where I want it to.
Would a BW conversion lessen the impact of the 'extra'?

Hi Kay,

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, I am working on various edits, will give BW a shot.

Still working on the edits.

The last one works for me John I think you need to reclone the area where the white head was standing as the current cloning looks incomplete.

Hi Binnur,

Agree, wasn't really happy with it, thanks for commenting.

Hindsight being what it is John...that lady "is the image".
"Working" a face in the crowd can be an exercise in futility though.

William,

Definitely agree, I had so many misses where someone would walk into the shot.

Now that I had looked closely at your edit, I find it very strange indeed but the hand beside the lady actually belongs to the one who you had erased because the main pretty lady of your focus has a different dress with a different patterned sleeves.

That's what happens when you start cloning out objects/people, it never stops.

Sorry...

Yeah. I think I prefer the original, which is very nice, especially with the young woman with whom we have all fallen in love. I am reminded of the story of the man, the boy and the donkey.

Tony,

Thanks for comments and chuckle.

Hello John,
Nice to meet you.
In addition to the feedback above - I would explore working with Vignetting during post-processing to enhance the focal point.

Hope this feedback will support you.
