    Ahmet,

    What WB setting did you use and did you do any enhancements to the colors? Nicely composed capture.

    Hi John, I took this photo a year ago and asked a friend to do something with the umbrella and the guys behind the man. He did it black and white and blurred the guys. I think this is the original one and l didn't do any enhancement to the colors. I don't know what you mean with WB.

    Ahmet,

    WB is white balance usually set in-camera but can be applied to RAW image.

    Ahmet - this is a nice image taken under some difficult shooting conditions. The harsh sunlight has really lit up one side of the man's face, while the other is in shadow. You see similar issues with how his hands are lit and parts of his jacket are in deep shadow, Photographers try to avoid shooting in that kind of light because of these issues.

    That being said, the clear blue sky and the umbrella make an interesting background for this shot. I also find that the wide angle shot works well and distorts the man's hands so they look enormous. Less good are the figures walking by on both the left side of the man and on the right side. The image would work better without these ans well as without the security camera(?) that is at the right edge of the image.

    +1 to Manfred's comments . I would also desaturate the red thing next to the bottom frame as it is a bit distracting and my eyes keep going there. A nice image though , I like the expression

    Ahmet...

    I played with this image using NIK software, mostly the different Viveza sliders, and ended up with this...

    Folks, we must understand that Ahmet is not into post processing yet -- just taking photographs at this time. Maybe one day he will get into it...and we can help him more.

    Anyway, nice shot, Ahmet...more so made nicer by Richard's edit.

    Izzie, thank you very much for your comments and help. I really appreciate it. I have Play Memories Home. It is a simple one but better than none. I could succeed to edit some photos.
