 Saw these two come sit down while I was waiting for the fireworks to start and loved the contrast between the two. Felt it really needed the selective desat (thought I'd give it an extra touch by not totally desaturating it)

Thanks for taking a look at it, I will see if I can darken the shirt a bit, maybe even adding some color it since it was white might help some.

I think it's only in recent years that the summer yukata for festivals and fireworks shows have really become popular, especially amongst the younger generation. Girls more so than boys.

I can see why you went for the desat, but IMNSHO I'd rather see pure B&W or the original color (depending on what it looks like). I think this is because while the girl's kimono and obi are colorful, they aren't that colorful and she doesn't stand out a whole lot from the background. (I said this was my NSHO!)

It' an above average shot. Good work.


yeah actually there isn't a whole lot of color other than the bit in the water and the towel and chair to her right so the full color is still nice. Thanks for taking the time to comment I do appreciate it.
