[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
waiting people passing in front of this window to get their reflections, here is the result, with a little crop to optimize the size of the persons, and partial desaturation... done easily thanks to the selection with colour range... plus play with contrast and a some clone tool to make desappear a visible green plant inside the building

Excellent street shot here Jonathan! A nice posting for the theme! Love the view from above here, nice details and the color in the window is excellent!

Salut Jonathan ,
Très beau travail de désaturation . Je remarque que tu as pris soin de laisser l'ombre en couleur dans la vitrine en plus d'y enlever une plante . La bande rouge sur la jupe de l'enfant tout comme ses souliers montrent un soucis du détail . Beau travail .

Simple, yet very effective. Red seems to be the colour of the day. Spielberg had the same idea = great minds think alike! Regards, TW

Hi Jo,

Congratulation

Hello Jonathan!
Great choice of combining red with b&w. It comes as a perfect marriage. One of my favorite combinations... I don't quite see the green plant inside the building, I'm afraid, and if I wouldn't have read the comment I wouldn't have realized that, but your posting is just wonderful! Your pp work is flawless.
Congrats and tfs!
Best regards,
Diana

What is black and white and red all over? This guy's sweater:) Great capture, even before the desat and featuring the red. Love the scene and the reflection, well composed, and very natural. Well done!

Bonjour Jonahan,
La photo est déjà superbe avec cette composition, les marcheurs et leurs reflets faisant une belle diagonale. Avec le rouge qui coupe le noir et blanc elle devient franchement très attrayante.
J'aurais juste désaturé aussi les mains de l'homme où on voit des ombres rouges. Détail mineur! ! Bravo! Annie

This is a fun idea -- the absence of colours makes it quite unearthly, with the red seeming almost like blood in comparison - very eerie

Hi Jonathon, Good creation here. It shows a daily scene but with a big dose of individualism. Full impact. TFS. Murray.

Salut jonathan

Nice entry in the desaturation theme. Good sharpness, & excellent diagonals, graphism & reflections. Merci, et bon weekend!

Hi Jo, great PP work, fascinating composition with partial desaturation, beautiful reflections, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Johnathan

I really love this shot, it looks initially very straight forward and simple, but looking closer its clear a lot of thought has gone in here to achieve a good balance with the passing people and the reflections. Superb idea to leave the reds saturated, very well presented and worked.

TFS and for joining in the theme

Kind regards Helen

Great work! I love the desaturation with only the red. A great capture!! Excellent reflection as well. TFS and have a happy day!

Excellent picture on the street.

Very good. The image is great and your option of desaturate makes it wonderful. Well thought and accomplished.
