October 2024 - Playing with 5 Stones
About the Image(s)
This was taken during the Night Festival in Singapore. A little girl was imitating playing with the 5 stones. The camera setting: F8, 1/100, ISO 1000. Not much post processing, only removing some spot lighting in the background and adjusting the brightness and contrast. The image was taken at around 7.30pm when it was generally dark.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

I am not familiar with a game of 5 stones (had to look it up), sort of like playing "jacks"? I enjoy the little girl in the picture and her interaction with the exhibit. Difficult lighting situation. I tried to brighten/lighten her a little. Using Topaz AI I tried to denoise her, but was not entirely successful. Finally, I cropped from the right as I found the background there a little distracting. Just some suggestions. I wish the display box was not there but it looks as if it would be difficult to remove it in post processing. Still in all, an enjoyable photo. Posted: 10/07/2024 19:41:51
I like it as well, good job considering, night portraits are always difficult. Posted: 10/08/2024 14:04:51
The building on the background should be remove, also the stand should be remove also. Otherwise it is a good picture. Posted: 10/12/2024 20:55:20
I agreed that the buildings and display stand should be removed.
But how to remove the display stand easily?

Interesting game. I agree with the Dorinda's edit. Posted: 10/19/2024 13:03:14
