I hope you don't mind.

 Elements 6.0 | HeadlessGuy
(1113) [2008-09-20 21:20:11] [2] | I used elements 6.0
First I adjusted the levels. Then I used a saturation adjustment layer to make it black and white.
I selected the background and instead of painting it black I used Gaussian Blur to make it less intrusive. I think that using a black or dark background makes the boy disappear into the back ground.
I didn't scale the photo up to 800 width because it would make it look like horrible because of the small size I had.
I'm not sure if it's better. I think the original is a difficult one to work with.
Cheers,
Jens |

 crop, enlarge, sharpness | keldermt
(131) [2008-09-06 00:17:27] [1] | | The original image has been cropped in this alternative. The entire picture now is about the colors, the culture, the dancers. Gone are the RVs and the bleachers in the background. Both those elements are critical to a successful pow-wow, but I think this shot is strengthened by just focusing on the dancers and their costumes. - Kelly |
