The Beggar and the Tourists
This was actually a failed shot that I have tried to edit several times and just gave up. And then I had an idea. Instead of embellishing the image with fancy editing, I did the most abnormal thing. I took away some pixels. That is I rendered the image as high contrast to enhance the shadows and give the people that silhouette look. It's very much an overdose of a cliche style in street photography. Almost all street photos look like this - and that is why it is very hard to identify the photographer. I must confess I don't care so much for this style. Oh well. At least for this image, I'm making an exception.
Hope your day is going well.
