About the Image(s)
This was an outing on urban photography organised by the local Photo Club.
The image was taken at ISO 100, F9, 1/40 sec. It was a wet morning after a rainfall on the previous night and early morning.
The image was post processed in PS with the removal of a building in the background and some minor adjustments of the brightness, contrast, colours.

I like the humor in this photo. Nice candid capture. The image looks underexposed and low contrast to me. More space on the right hand side of the frame would be nice. Also, I wish the photographer was not standing right in front of a window. It is possible to fix that in PS but a fair amount of work. Posted: 05/05/2025 05:01:11
I like the photographer in the image as is gives it a sense of scale. Posted: 05/05/2025 12:44:14

Interesting image. I agree that the photographer adds scale and I think interest. Otherwise it would in my opinion just be a photo of another persons art. I agree it needs adjustments to the lighting and contrast. In LR I selected the artwork, and also a separate selection of the photographer. With these separate masks I made adjustments to exposure, contrast, etc. Then I used a radial mask to lighten the photographer and area leading to the artwork. I cropped some from both top and bottom. I don't think the bottom adds to the photo. The sky is bland, possibly you could replace it with another of yours? All just suggestions.
