Girl in headscarf

[Ken Clacher]

Just another shot from an India trip many years back. I'm re-processing all of these photos in lockdown and finding some images that I over looked. So hope you enjoy. Ken

Great shot - the scarf complements her skin colour very well.

This shot reminds me of several wonderful trips to India. It is such a colourful place. Overall a very effective shot with a few minor issues, in my view.

What is not quite working for me is the very bright background, when compared to the relatively dark subject and face; I find it overpowers the subject just a bit. I agree with Roy about the large round area at the bottom left too.

A quick edit to re-crop to remove the shadow and darken the background slightly. What's your thoughts?

Looks OK to me except I would clone over that little bright spot on the tip of her nose.

Better, but if it were my image, I would be a bit more aggressive on toning down the background. I also took Geoff's suggestion on the hot spot on the tip of the nose.

The changes really improve the image. Little things mean a lot.
