About Another shot from the Tarifa feria. Once again, the strong overhead sunlight and the busy background created difficult conditions for photography, although there was lots to photograph?

Played around with different ideas to enhance the image using adjustment layers in PSP9 including blurring, partially desaturating and fully desaturating the background. Finally settled on this version for UF. Other ideas appreciated!

(Sorry I?ve been quiet recently - I?m now in Poland and will try and catch up as soon as I can.)

AJ,
The bright sunlight and bust background do certainly make this a challenging image to work with ... I think you did a super job with the desaturation to enable your subjects to capture the viewer's eye.
It also further emphasizes their costumes.
Well done!
Mark

Great composition John.
I liked how you seperated the colored customes of those beautiful ladies [and the handsome man :)]

Creative indeed.

Well done.

I deeply appreciate your kind and encouraging comment on my last photo.
regards.

Thank you so much, Roger. I really do appreciate your honest comments. I thought long and hard about this image and wondered whether it was worth posting.

I'm struggling to find time to look at what's going on at the moment, but will be back shortly...

I can honestly say this is the first time I have seen a partially desatured image "work." Usually they just look gimmicky and unreal (to me). Maybe complete desaturation wasn't needed... those vivid colours would have triumphed anyway. But it certainly works as you have it here. The woman in green doesn't look as if she needs a bodyguard! More as if YOU did.

Great idea! I think you right, John to using bw b/k, it's bring people up.
Great job.
My regards, Larissa

I like the contrast between the bright colors of the women's clothing and the black and white background. Creates a nice depth. The guy "bodyguard" is just too funny... :) Andree

A very nice record. I am particularly fond of the woman's tinted glasses. Fine, varied color.

Best wishes,
