Challenge: Stranger In A Strange Land II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX 18-105 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland
Date: Aug 28, 2012
Aperture: 5.6

Date Uploaded: Aug 29, 2012

 I was in Edinburgh for a day and took some shots of the National Monument of Scotland for this challenge. Later on I was waiting for the bus and saw this Asian woman with the airport bus as background and decided this shot was much more imaginative.

Processing: rotate, crop, levels, contrast, brightness, d&b, healing/cloning some minor imperfections and unsharp mask.

I'm sorry to see the comments on this photo. Apparently people were thinking my title had only to do with her Asian appearance. But that's not the case. I took the shot because she had a lovely face and the light on her face was beautiful. I was around for a while and she happened to be a tourist waiting for a friend to travel to the airport. Because I didn't include the luggage I waited for the airport bus to be used as background in order to make clear she was a tourist.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. For me a lesson to be more careful in formulating a title.

She doesn't look like a stranger and neither does the bus.

i find this photo hideous, we have one of the most multicultural societies in the world and here we have a billboard for the bnp, racism isnt funny. 50 years ago maybe but nowadays she might be born and bred in edinburgh.
