Levels, Hue/Sat, Unsharp mask, Crop, Save for web. I don't really know any advanced editing stuff in photoshop to make this photo awesome but I really like this one so I hope you will too. I'm hoping that I can break my PB with this one. I saw this lady at the Sunday market in San Telmo, Buenos Aires, AR. She was passing by and I almost missed her. Wish I were able to take more than one photo of her.

so much of the value of this photo was created in post-processing: the crop, the coloring so that her skin becomes part of her scarf, the subtle background of ironwork, all this takes this photo into the realm of highly emotive illustration.
A wonderful portrait - you have captured bags of character in the animated facial expression, the orange of the headscarf provides just the right amount of colour and looks good against the greys and blacks of the background, and the simple uniform pattern of the softly focussed wrought iron bacground provides a good foil for your subject. Impressive.

What a wonderful expression on her face you captured :). I Like the texture in the background (created by a gate or fence or something?) Lovely colors in this image.
What a warm and engaging smile!! Smile goes right up to her eyes. I love the color of the orange against all that blue, too. I'm sure there are probably technical issues but I love the moment of this.
