Jesters "Giullari"

i've been bouncing between these three photographs, trying to make up my bind which one is the best... finally decided on this one -- simply Outstanding work! It is dynamic and (to my eye) perfect in every sense... the richness of the colors, the perfection of the bokeh, the stances and expressions of the women... love the composition of this but would still suggest a 4:3 crop

Hi Paolo,

I like Rajat's crop and I have a suggestion of my own: Copy the layer, make the copy's blending mode multiply, add a layer mask and mask all of the new layer out except the lower jester's face. That adds color, contrast, and texture to an area that is a little blown out.

I do like the photo BTW. It's fun and colorful.

Hi my friends

I find the idea of a good crop and also that of the mask layer stacking. Thanks again

Thanks for your opinions

Ciao Paolo, una costruzione molto bella piena di vita con gioia e allegria,complimenti - saluti

El, as usual, has said it well... i'm disappointed in our friends on PN - of 65 visitors only three of us have found it worthwhile to say anything and just two have felt like rating... :>(

Very good 'grab' of the moment. Vivid color, good blur on the bg--did you mask this?

Bravo Paolo, bravissimo!

This was potentially good shot if both faces would be in focus, but in this form this is unacceptable.

Ziggy you are right. the face is not perfectly focused and I was Conscious of this.
are the first to consider this image technically imperfect.
Despite the fire out I wanted to share it with facial expressions and its colors.
"Not to make me miss the moment I took this picture while I was on the phone with my wife."
I hope to see you again soon to comment on my work.

So joyful image, priceless expression! I like this shoot Paolo, no matter in the face is not perfectly on focus, happen ... well done!

Hi dear Paolo,

Very well tonality and capture.The pose and gestures are very unique.

Regards(Bobby).

I like it I do... What Fun!
