[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Children walking out of Rådhuset (Cityhall) tunnelbana (tube/ underground) station in Stockholm. It was a cold day in late winter. All their faces look a little too cramped up, unlike the normal bubbily happy children. Wonder what ordeal have they been through that morning. I sure had mine when my sole fell off my show that morning!

To suit their sulking expressions and downward turned faces, I tried a hue desaturation to make the picture a little more heavy, solemn.

Photoshop note: colour desaturation to all other colours to linger on the reds.

See original photo in workshop.

Hello from Perth Joanne :)
This is an intersting study--the desaturation works very well. But mainly I like the "flow" of the group . . . not in a straight line like adults, but, typical of kids everywhere, in a meandering wander diagonally across the pathway from our left to right--a meandering I can almost physically feel :)

Nice perspective, well done on the colours. Only one drawback: if I am not mistaken, "rådhuset" does not mean "red house" but "City hall"...
