As before

A village rehabilitated as before, with its thatched cottages, numerous animations present the art of making butter, the weaving of simple fabrics, Breton pancakes, and so on.

Thanks again Nandakumar for your encouraging comment.

Hi Izzie,
Thank you.
Yes she is real, it was difficulty to get a correct picture as the room was dark and she gave explanations with a lot of movement. I decided to stay at 1/125 s f/4 so my ISO were 6400 hence some PP to do and maybe here too much clarity which means too contrasty face.

I like these. Just wonder whether you might tone down the bright square to the right of the woman's sleeve, which tends to grab my attention

[bje07]

Thank you Dave.
You are right, I saw that, but I can't. It's a small window with bright light outside, even if I decrease exposure or highlights it'll become gray and not pleasant to watch... or maybe with the patch tool I'll make a try.

Very nice set Jean, I love the compositions in #1 and #3 It would be nice if you had some more room at the top of the head of the woman in #2. And I find the sky a bit too blue in the last image.

[bje07]

Thank you Binnur, unfortunately # 2 is as shot
I reduce a tad the blue in # 4

I tried but the result doesn't satisfy me

Maybe just a tad like this since you had removed the window there...or light?

[mugge]

Jean, love them. Very bold colours.
Cheers Ole

Thanks Izzie but I find on your try that her face color seems to me too gray. I prefer my version

[bje07]

Thank you Ole, for sure I love colors slamming.

[IzzieK]

I only did the fabric on her arm I must have forgotten to make my circle a bit smaller. Sorry about that...
