Shot in Philadelphia's China Town while waiting for the Lunar New Year Festivities to begin. This is a bit different for me. I never do people shots cause I am not good at them. But I liked the colors and comp of the original and I also liked how the processing worked out in this. This is the second version of the single image shot.
Post: Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/satuation. Layer of curves adjustment. Layer of high pass and USM both at 25 pixels and merged soft light. Burnt a posted sign in the upper right corner and a slight halo around the hood on the child's back. Layer of hue/sat to desaturate a bit. Sharpen. Crop. Resize. Sharpen.

I think you got robbed here. While maybe not as sharp as many would want, I think your composition and colors make up for it in spades. This shot just makes me smile.
