Lots of opposites and I like this version - it makes a stronger, cleaner image. Good eye Debi! :-) CJ

Perfect contrast between modern and traditional in this. Really well seen, Debi, I knew you could do it! I like the new version with the pole cropped out. Good work! ~Sharon

Looks better now. The halo, as Rod suggested, and the iron pole on the left :)
ctfchallenge14-Nov-2008 23:19
it looks naturally good to me... Penny STreet

replaced the picture- cropped - less sharpening - but the halo around the arms will remain, it was the light and is there in the original too - Debi
Rod 13-Nov-2008 08:12
Maybe wot Aamm is seeing is a sharpening halo.
ctfchallenge13-Nov-2008 07:25
aam - I am not sure what you mean about the gap or massaging in PS. Only usual PP here - levels, curves, sharpening and a bit of exposure control on the shorts and bags. Nothing else. Will remove the post some time. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tom- henna is temp. The leaves of the henna plant is ground to a paste and applied with a cone ( like icing) - Debi
aam1234 12-Nov-2008 22:43
Tom, by definition, Henna is temporary (few days, maybe weeks, at most).

Debi this is very nice but I agree with Aam on one point - the object on the left distracts from the cleanly captured clothes and skin. Are those hennaed hands tattooed or just temporarily decorated? -tv
aam1234 12-Nov-2008 19:30
You opened a Pandora box on yourself here, Debi. Hmm. Look at the gap between the guy's right arm and his T-shirt (and his left arm for that matter), or the girl's skirt. This has been "massaged" in P/S, hasn't it :)

I still think the left iron thing on the left is not contributing much to this photo.
Rod 12-Nov-2008 19:13
Aamms right the whites do look good.
aam1234 12-Nov-2008 19:12
Not in my (calibrated) monitor.
ctfchallenge12-Nov-2008 16:56
thanks Penny. aam again the exposure layer in cs3 has come in useful. the bag and the shorts were somewhat overexposed. Debi

lots to look at - good contrasting opposites here

Btw, getting whites to look white is no easy task. Just ask Rod. You accomplished that here.
aam1234 11-Nov-2008 18:34
The composition and exposure here is just great. If I were you, Debi, I would crop the little pole on the left.

Good work, matette.
ctfchallenge11-Nov-2008 18:32
Wow that was fast. Thanks aam. I was also looking at the modern dress and traditional hennaed hands. And of course male & female - Debi
aam1234 11-Nov-2008 18:30
He has no butt! but that's not your fault, Debi. Excellent photo, especially the play on B&W and color & no color.
