About the Image(s)
This photo was taken during the PSA 3rd gathering in Sri Lanka in the village in Galle. While walking the village the 3 kids come around the corner riding their bike. What a nice surprise..As you can tell from the original I deleted the blue truck, extended the front of the bike and light up the kids. I believe there's more I can do to make the kids with their bike pop.
Use of Nikon Z-9 with Nikkor Z 760-20MM f2.8
Setting ISO 640- 91MM f5 1/16-- sec

Grab shots like this are often the best. the children seem really pleased to have their photo taken. In the image below I have selected the boys and brightened them. Then I have darkened the background slightly. I then cloned out the bit behind the boys head, Finally I have cropped a little. Posted: 03/02/2025 09:29:03
Brilliant Sophia. I like the direction David went with but without so much contrast in the boys faces. You could play with the balance between them and the background…darken the background a bit more so you need less brightening of the faces Posted: 03/08/2025 16:38:57
Such a fun photograph! I love the delighted faces of the boys. Mark's suggestion would be worth trying. I also suggest desaturating the green a bit.

Wonderful candid capture, Sophia-the joy on the children's faces makes this shot truly special. I agree with Mark's suggestion to darken the background slightly, allowing the boys to naturally stand out without increasing contrast too much. Oliver's idea of reducing the green saturation could also help keep the focus firmly on their delightful expressions. Posted: 03/30/2025 10:02:42
