Thanks Bob! There was just concrete sidewalk in the b/g but it was a little mottled looking so thanks to Pops link, I adjusted the levels like in the Radiant Vista video (and adjusted a few other things) to achieve this result. :-) CJ
Nice high impact image CJ, extreme contrast and really fits the topic without question.
I would be interested in how you shot this to achieve such a uniform background. If you had to clone out any background distractors it would be a nightmare considering the detailed patterned table and chairs.
