Glad you like it. I very much like it too. Taken this evening at a spontaneous gathering in an area I've been documenting. They'd just received notice that the block was to be vacated in two years for new development.
The image was over-exposed and I did a whole lot of whole image recovery. I could rework for a while, but this is where your PP magic and expertise could definitely help.
ETA: I don't do noise reduction. Don't like those buttons.
This one definitely Is Something, Jen.:D It captures perfectly what I assume is relatively high level of paranoia there.

I'll take a whack at it. Can I get the raw file? Or a fill sized jpeg as close to raw as possible. You can probably just email to me.
Thanks B.D. It's not so much paranoia than grassroots activism. The buzz was around the money the middleman / manager was going to make as he talked them into taking settlements to move out sooner than later. They'd printed articles and prepared a flyer and I'm sure there will be h*ll to pay for the first person that makes a visit tomorrow to begin negotiations.
In the end they'll have to move, but the stubborn ones can and do make it very painful and drawn out for the developers. It's part of the story I'm developing.
... I'm still peeling potatoes.
