Good composition and interesting story image. I would prefer a bit brighter image. Rashid I am offering an alternative interpretation. I hope I don't offend you. We all see differently.   Posted: 01/08/2019 17:00:09
Ed, I do not see your option for processing my photo.   Posted: 01/09/2019 07:15:51

Rashid: An interesting composition, but, to my eye, may benefit from a tonal adjustment. Your image appears a bit flat to my eye.   Posted: 01/08/2019 19:52:55
Ella, yes I agree. Really flat.   Posted: 01/09/2019 07:16:37

Rashid - I like your composition, but the light was not kind for you. Yet again your phone has produced a more than acceptable image quality.
The image is a little flat and detail and contrast would benefit from a boost. In the copy below I applied a Nik CEP4 Detail Extractor layer followed by a Nik CEP4 Pro Contrast layer with the Dynamic Contrast set at 40% - what do you think?

Peter,
Once again, thank you for practical advice. I think that the version proposed by you improved my photo. For some reason, I was hesitant with this adjustment and did not conduct it. And in vain.   Posted: 01/09/2019 07:14:19

This is an image which I find very attractive indeed.
I agree with the suggestions from the Group as the image just needs a boost.   Posted: 01/09/2019 06:55:30
