 This is #6 for Blurry February.

In RAW converter, I added some brightness and contrast as well as increased the clarity and bumped up the blacks slightly. In Photoshop, I slightly adjusted the levels and increased the brightness and saturation again. Then I desaturated all the colors except the red which I desaturated to -25.

Do you think the effect works? I wanted to draw your eye to the teddy bears, not all the other distracting colors in the background.

I like the fact the lady is not the main subject in this.

I love retail store photography. This is great. Eye catching and fun.

I like the desat and focus on the bear. The person looks to just about come into focus adds some interest.

The harshness works really well - I like its quirkiness.
