[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
During the Off Festival d'Avignon, almost all rooms in town where it is possible to fit a stage are converted in theaters and you can see hundreds of plays. The old town gets plastered with posters for all these plays. In 2008, I attended the festival with a friend I was visiting in Marseille and two of her colleagues. As the day was coming to an end, I tried to capture the ambiance a a busy street.

I have increased the color saturation and hue, adjusted the color balance toward cyan and yellow and have increased the contrast. I also slightly darkened burnt regions (neons, signs, streetlights).

I still don't like the sky. I have tried to make it darker, but the photo then looks unnatural. Any suggestions?

Hi Stephane,
A scene full of life. I wish it was bit more lighter, but that is minor. Well done.
