I think you have handled this image well. I like the colors in the original but I agree with you that the B&W tell the story of the two women much better. I like the overall sharpness and the details in the shadows. For street photography I like catching a quick shot the best when I can get my photo without influencing the scene. Just a thought, if you lightened up the face of the woman on the right just a bit that may draw more focus to her.   Posted: 10/04/2020 14:18:52

Agree with Lou, very well done conversion to monochrome. I opened it in Luminar 4 and used the portrait mode and the face light slider at 70%. Then did a few dodge and burns. Had to play around with the ladys chin dodging. Hope it is not too much. Nothing else.   Posted: 10/04/2020 16:19:26

I agree with Lou and Chuck that you did a great job in converting this photo into monochrome. By removing the bright colors of the fruits, you were able to shift the viewers focus to the main subjects. The photo has also great tonal range making it very crisp. The fruits not only create interesting foreground but an excellent frame for the main subjects. Lastly, the fruit stand at the center provides excellent leading lines, shifting the viewer from one subject to another.By the way, I also love to take market scenes during my travels.   Posted: 10/05/2020 05:47:04

True street photography. Taking away the color gives it a new dimension of the two peoples lives. Great photo. I like the tonal range and the flow. What an amazing market. Would love to see that shot at the end of their day. :-)   Posted: 10/05/2020 10:01:00

I like the conversion to monochrome on this image. I believe it helps bring out the story. The subjects are well captured and they add an excellent story to the photo. I see the name of the image is called Market 3. Is this part of a series?   Posted: 10/06/2020 07:44:21

Agree with all, I think monochrome or subdued colour really emphasizes communication between people.   Posted: 10/07/2020 22:08:40
