    Oh! I like the pic! If I were you, I woudl just desaturate the ground (looks a bit blueish) & crop more of the black thing on the top.

    Nice photo thumb.gif

    I also think this would look great in high-contrast B&W. Nice photo!

    If you have any tips on how to do that I'd appreciate hearing them. I do not know how to do that type of processing.

    I'm no processing pro either. I'd recommend giving B.D.'s Trix-X technique a shot.

    Good capture.

    I agree with the BW conversion. I would dodge the man and burn the sunny parts a bit so he doesn't fade into the wall and they don't take over the image. Either that or bump up the exposure until the sunny parts pretty much blow out.

    I do have to wonder if old Italian men on narrow streets get tired of having their picture taken. ne_nau.gif

    Funny thing in this pic is that most viewers miss the 2nd man... the one the 1st is looking at and talking to...
