 A Kindergarten class in Utah. Taken while class was going because you can't have 5 yo children pose or wait.

Editing included the basic, levels, b/c, curves, hue/sat, then cropped and background was desaturated in various amounts to bring out the teacher. Blur and sharpening tools were used to even out strange coloring and sharpen details. USM, image size and canvas size. Save for web.

To much bluring (Neat Image) and I also do not like photos where you take away colors from everything exept the subject. You always should take photo with that in mind that everyone will se straight away what the subject is so you donð have to take the colors away from everything else.

Interesting use of desaturation. In this particular instance, I'm not sure how it really adds to the picture.

I love the way you post processed this, taking the attention out of the kids and leading the viewer to the teacher. Excellent!

Strong sense of moment. On my screen the skin tone is off (there is an off putting subtle but notiveable green tinge).
