[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi ,
Been off the site for a few days , problems with my PC hard disk ( worn out ), had a slave disk which is gone too ( as old as the the main one ) . All is well now ,,, anyway i had figured it would happen sooner or later so cleverly had kept my Data on an external disk as back-up so it is now back from the shop with a brand new disk and the old data transferred on it ! I am fully functional with my usual photo programs re-installed ! A relief !
This one dates back quite a few years , back to May 1992 . My wife and i were walking around this beautiful park when this South Korean couple walked down to the pond and sat on a bench to chat at low voice , i captured this moment when both are speechless , just as if they were hearing each other's inner feelings of this very historicly important moment of their lives together . No word needed be exchanged here ,silence even momentary conveys the mood of this instant i think .It is a scanned print , PP involved here : Using Picasa 3 focaL B&W option i was able to desaturate around a central point in order to keep the bride's bouquet in colors , added soft focus to the image ,cropped to de-center the couple a little ,cloned a few debris on the ground , resized and sharpened for TL , thank you for looking , i appreciate all comments on this one ,

Hi Carol,
Excellent image of partly desaturation. Superb how the purple bouquet is a central point between the two. Also the soft filtre works fine. Great posting!

Hi Carol
A beautiful picture. Only that mistiness should not have invaded so much into the photograph. The body langauge and expressions are caught well. I like that touch of pink/purple of the bouquets. TFS

Hi Carol
Looks good for a scan and made interesting with the PP work. The little dash of color adds interest to the Desaturated now B & W image. TFS

Hi Carol,
Très bon travail sur cette vieille photo!
La scène est intime et on sent la distance que tu as gardée par rapport à eux. La petite touche de couleur est heureuse. Travail tout en finesse! Bravo! Annie

Bonjour Carol.

Heureux de constater que tu n'a rien perdu. C'est vraiment une très belle image. Le traitement que tu lui as apporté est superbe : l'effet de flou qui nous donne l'impression de les voir en rêve ainsi que la couleur rosée qui nous laisse croire que, malgré la sérénité que le couple dégage, la passion anime vraiment leur coeur.

Amicalement
Pascal-Eric

" Sorry " Carol ...
of course I don't mean it ! :-)
This is " one small step for PP but a great step for my mind "
Remember such a frase ? :-)

You were walking, saw this couple and took the photo.
Afterwards you weren't happy with the result because
you felt the need to do some heavy ( !! ) PP-work.
Why ?...
:-)

A " reverse but " can be revealing too
:-)

See you later Carol
Jan

Ola, Carol!

Great picture and well done partly desaturation. Beautiful moment and good PP work. Congratulations, friend!

Cheers,
Bruno

I hope you gave them your number so you could send this pic to them Carol! This is beautiful! Excellent BW shot. Not sure if I would have blurred the edges, I might would have darkened with a vignetting maybe! Nice moment caught!
