The motion blur of the leggy lasses ties in nicely with seated fellow straining to look over his shoulder! Great street shot, Richard!

Richard, what I find remarkable about this image is the range of tonalities and colors in a street night shot! The cute "action" capture of the salivating sitters would benefit, IMHO, from cropping down to a horizontal format. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks Richard. I will keep your suggestion in mind if I revisit this shot.

I really like this shot -- very atmospheric and the composition draws you in -- a place I'd like to visit.
Please forgive me for using this image as an example of what I was talking about in my post Is PP allowed for "Traditional Street Photography"? http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-368260-1.html
Would this image be even better if the curving and leaning verticals were corrected? If anyone would like to see the comparison, with the OP's permission I would make the PP change and post the result for comparison.

Thanks. This is one if my earlier digital images - shot back in 2006 and my PP skills were not all that good.

Used PSP to remove slight lens barrel distortion, and vertical perspective distortion for parallel verticals.
I'm open to comments. I am ambivalent as to this -- Okay for some images and not others? Should never be done for "street" photos?

Looks good and - it works for me.
For myself as a hobbyst, with an occasional "client" all that matters is the end result.
I am never asked by non-photographers "did you shoot raw, what "PhotoShopping" did you use,etc?"

The only person I know who doesn't like a lot of post processing (unless it it used to make her look "better") is my wife, especially B&W conversions a B&W is not the "real world".
This is her in another vacation "street" shot.

Your wife...that look...
It would have told me, "Put a cap on that damned lens and come over here and look at this display with me...NOW!"
Great street shot!

Yes Richard, this an eye catcher ... especially at the sitting position. Nice capture.
