[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At the harbour of St. Julian.

The original photo was filled with so many colours and was a little bit too noisy, so I decided to discard colours except teddy bears.
Here's info about what I did with photoshop (might not be exact);
-crop
-create 3 layers
-bottom layer: level & hue/sat
-middle layer: desaturate & curve
-top layer: desaturate & blur
-merge top & middle layers and erase teddies
-flatten
-increase canvas size
-frame (used photofiltre)

That's a sad pic, very moody. Everything seems in it's right place.
I really like the desaturation mask, and the framing.
Very nice job.

excellent PP to enhance the feeling

Hello Yukiko.
You made a great work with PP in this picture.
I love the moody and dreamy atmosphere. Wonderful partial desaturation with excellent light. Good choice about the frame.
Really well done.
Regards, FRANCESCO

Hi,
I must admit I really really like your series with the teddy bears:) It's a great idea, and you've done it really well!!!
Great pics!
Congrats!

Cheers,
Nune

Another great shot in the traveling bear series. They look lonely in this one -- maybe because of the B&W background. Wonderful shot. TFS.

I've seen others photos with these two bears you bring with you around the world: ver good idea, and they seem easily likeable! Seriously, that is a very
original concept!
