 Now that I learned how to selectively desat, I redid this image

I used my fisheye so the people would think I was just taking a picture of the heart! Yes, the guy on the right really did have only one arm.

Thanks. Actually the background was pretty blown out because the subjects were all in shadows and the buildings in the distance were in full sun, and I bumped the exposure up by at least a couple of stops to expose for the foreground (I rarely shoot in RAW, and almost never on a walkabout). The desat helped because it made the background less noticeable and less distracting.

Still not the greatest shot technically, but I really liked the juxtaposition of the two lonely characters with the bright heart spanning the gap between them.
