then making a wish, he tossed in the sea


When i entered the church pictured below i was met by a half dozen beggars. The man i was most interested in was the one pictured. His bright white shirt against the dark wooden door created great contrast perfect for a excellent black and white picture. Also the bright shirt and cup draw your eyes direclty to the man and then outward to look at the rest of the photo. But i did have some challenges in this picture. The smaller of the two challenges was cropping it perfectly to get the best photo i could. I finnaly decided to take a little off the top and the left side (There was somebody’s bag laying there, you can see the corner of it. It took too much attention away from the subject). The biggest problem was the glare on the marble floor that you can so obviously see on the left. To fix that mess i didn’t have any other option but to use my paint tool and to carefully darken the spot, then i went in with my burn tool and added some contrast/darkness to the chosen area. It took alot of trial an error, but i think i got it.
