[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I couldn’t believe that they closed one of the main streets in Belgrade because of her !!!
Those poor 100 000 people...

Now, to put aside Serbian poor culture, not so educated people and corrupted government.
Shot was taken in Belgrade near park Ushce, those who live there and care to check the date, knows what is this all about.

Now, pp work:
This is a landscape of two shots. I’ve connected them in Photoshop. First I’ve separated it into 3 layers (identical), one for the red sky, one for the gray sides and the middle part with some of the original coloring.
On sky: a lot of midtones red and some highlights yellow, curves fix, burn on darker sides.
On ground: desaturated, some curves play, and lot of highlight dodge (mainly in distance).
On central part: lot of curves fix, some dodge and burn and slight desaturation.

Now, all this noise comes from post-processing, maybe not all, my camera caught some of it, but a lot of pp eventually creates noise...
I’ve tried some reduction but this is the best that I’ve got.

An interesting and effective photo, I think the noise adds interest, making it more abstract. Nice product.

Dobro Veche ALeksandar
Very interesting result and the graininess adds to the overall ghostly effect of the photo.
Nice job!
