February 4 - Candid


Candid photography isn't my forte - I worry about people feeling annoyed that I have taken their photo, but sometimes things like this happen and I can't resist.
The organ grinder and the little girl were chatting on a street in Lyon, France. He was asking her whether she would swap her teddy for his monkey, she hugged the teddy tight behind her mother when he asked that! (you can see it behind her head)
For this image, shot in bright daylight, I wanted the antique look that the man portrays, so I desaturated the image by about 30% then added a couple of antique layers, wiping it away from the figures 100% on one layer, then about 30% away from just the faces on the second. I am amazed at what I am learning in photoshop by doing this challenge. I really like this effect on what was an interesting - but too bright and light image.
