Thanks. Actually the background was pretty blown out because the subjects were all in shadows and the buildings in the distance were in full sun, and I bumped the exposure up by at least a couple of stops to expose for the foreground (I rarely shoot in RAW, and almost never on a walkabout). The desat helped because it made the background less noticeable and less distracting.
Still not the greatest shot technically, but I really liked the juxtaposition of the two lonely characters with the bright heart spanning the gap between them. |
