Hmmm, this is not a good workshop, I am sorry. But maybe you can see the cropp. I think the crop is better, but it is still personal!! :)

I love cultural captures. I just wanted to try a simple crop to focus in a bit more. I put his eye at an approximate 45 degree bisector and used his left arm as a diagonal across the pic.
Hope you don't mind my experiment. TFS. Karin

first i let photoshop automatically set the whitebalance which i think did half the job.
Then i increased sharpening and brightening.
Then made background layer which i filtered with high pass.

What do you think? Ofcourse all credits on this shot go to you!

I used 4 unsharp masks.

USM 80%, 0.3 pix, 0 treshold. Then edit-fade to lighter with 100% opacity. Second a same USM 80%, 0.3 pix, 0 treshold. Then edit-fade to darker with 100% opacity.

After that I repeated this a second time. Hope you like the increase of sharpness on your subject.

The "Rule of Thirds"

Hello again
I hope you don’t mind if a play with this image a little bit.
Much has been said both for and against the “rule of thirds,” but I want to see if that guideline can make this image a little stronger.
What I have done is to try to add some dynamism by placing the central incense stick on the (normally invisible) line that intersects the picture in thirds. Of course I have no idea what exists to the right of this temple – I am only assuming that there are more trees.
If, however, what is on the right is ugly – then I would step back from your three subjects and place the right hand one on the axis of the temple – and again, you get more of a “thirds” construction.
In either case, you get a slightly more dynamic composition.
Now – if square and stable are what you’re after, then ignore all that I have said :D – it is all VERY subjective! I can and do place images dead centre – when I want to project complete stability, or show perfect symmetry. – And then I still try use the thirds rule as I did here on the vertical, by having the subject trio occupy two thirds of the vertical canvas.
