Hi Roger - I think the pp work makes this image for me, there is almost a symbolism here, with the old, grey China in the background being replaced by a younger, more vigourous - and more attractive! - version. Good work, well done!

Hello Roger !

Well done. A fine use of the partial desaturation to show your leovely model. She really pops out of our screens.

Bravo!
Robert

Hello Roger,
Cute girl!
And a well composed presentation, PP works well and gives an almost 3D impression!
Greetings,
Pablo -

I have to commend this shot Roger, for the fact that you have succeeded so well in separating the woman from the background. Performer-in-front-of-a-crowd shots are notoriously hard to do because of the "confusion" factor, but your selective saturation works perfectly to draw her out.
Great sharpness, light, composition.

Roger,

By desaturating the less important background - the attention is nicely put on the performer. Well executed.

Cheers,
Dave

Hello Roger, a true great portrait of this very beautiful Chinese girl ! Very nice PP work, very sharp picture and nicely composed. The guys in the background seem to be very interrested ! ;-)
