About the Image(s)
This is from a marketplace in Oaxaca, Mexico. I enhanced the exposure in Lightroom, used Content Aware in PS to remove a light pole from the picture. I also tried Topaz Glow 2 on it, but didn’t like what it did. I then lightened exposure on the woman in the center and the multicolor buckets on the table as I wanted my eye to go from the buckets to the woman and to the cathedral. I like the composition of this picture but unsure how to enhance it.

My eyes went from the cathedral to the buckets and the man in brown with the red trike on the side. I think the trike needs to be toned down a bit. That bright red really draws the eye.   Posted: 07/22/2017 11:11:50
My eye went red trike, cathedral then buckets. I have looked at this image three different times and I can't decide if the man in the brown bothers me or not. I agree with Alice the trike needs to be toned down.   Posted: 07/22/2017 16:00:56

Kathy, I like the image just the way it is, although if you had moved just a little to the right, you might have gotten the cathedral without cutting the dome in half in the background. My eyes started at the buckets, to the lady walking, to the cathedral roof, over to the fellow in brown. Wonderful colors. My only suggestion would be to see if you can get more definition from the sky, or make it all blue. the clouds look a little washed out, but that's ok too.   Posted: 07/24/2017 09:31:03
Nice framing of the Cathedral. I feel that the image is a bit too busy. Too many vehicles in the photo. I would like to see the lady off to the right or left and just the Cathedral in the background for better composition.   Posted: 07/31/2017 21:28:25
