GREETIngS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Oh, I am SO envious. You were in Paris last year and I was not. Not only that, but you captured a great street scene.

Interesting. You finished just about in the middle of the pack in this demanding "Best of 2009" Challenge. And that is just about the way your comments split on your treatment of this scene.

HDR, Topaz. Like? Don't Like? That is the question.

My personal opinion is that you have taken this excellent image almost to the point of illustration and if I was lucky enough to call it mine, I'd probably do it more in a photographic way. But this fine image is yours, not mine.

You had fun with it and it shows very nicely. that's what counts. Keep up the good work.

Alice

would've liked it much better without extreme processing

The HDR type of effect works well here.

Very busy scene. Bit overprocessed for my taste. Just this man in front allone would have made for an interesting picture

Looks a tad harsh onm some kind of MR and PP software, but a terrific image nonetheless. Great capture of the painter's mood.....6

Lovely composition and processing. It would have been great if you had captured this scene from such an angle that the portrait of the boy's face that the artist is drawing was also visible.

This is an interesting image but the processing has been pushed just a bit to far for me.

It looks like you were getting the "evil eye" from your subject...as though he was saying, "what are you doing taking a picture of me?" :) Lovely editing! :)

Nice candid but the HDR/topaz is way overdone in my opinion.
