Glad you're back Wendell.
You have a brilliant eye, but I guess you know that. I particularly like #4
If you don't mind me asking, What lens are you using?
The first two in particular seem quite distorted in a funny sort of way. Alsmost stretched at the edges.

Very nice images, really great colour, I particularly like the first one apart from motorbike guy and rogue hand - but very minimal distractions. Would love to know if you did any pp on that first one to get that 'look' and how?

hi

1st is shot in Manilla during a easter street parade
and the other 3 are shot near or in pampanga the rice terraces

regardign the 1st one i just use curves to get better contrasts i pull up the hightlights and pull down the shadow tones
i dont touch the midtones thats hoiw i get the contrast it doesnt work for all images just ones that have a good tonal range througout. For example the 2nd and 3rd and 4th images have high highlights and are quite vivid i didnt do much PP to those in particular.


thankyou for all the comments
