this is a repost
since yesterday, I less lazy than usual with the PP... about the original post, it was just desaturation
now this one is done following some of the useful critiques
PP :
- little rotation, but keep the left part which avoid to get the girl too much in the corner
- layer mask on the girl (level brighter)
- color range, select dark tones, create a new layer with this selection, +100% contrast and -150% brightness
- BG layer: change level, apply a copy of the green channel with more noise (blending with multiply)

Hi Jean

I like the compopsition of this but for a B&W it's just too monotonal, I did'nt see the original, but this one just looks to grey and not B&W enough. Can I suggest you convert using channel mixer, assuming your using photoshop and try the different RGB sliders to bring out the tones more faithfully, it has got the makings of a good image, and i'm only making these suggestions as it's obvious your the kind of person that wants to improve and listens to what others have to say. TFS

Dean.

Hello Jean,
Beautiful perspective of a narrow lane. Timely captured of the lady looking at the birds. I like it.

Best regards,
Sharina

A nice composition with good DOF. I also agree that there is maybe too little contrast amongst the grey tones. TFS

Wia

Got to agree with the monotone.
On other thing, if it's possible, it would've been better to pan more to the right, or zoom in a bit more, and omit the vertical pipe on the left.
