 I went to the oldest part of Reykjavik with my daughter and her friend. I shot many nice photos but in the end we met these two nice gentlemen. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of my daughter with them sitting together on “their bench”. As you can probably tell se did NOT feel comfortable in their company.
Convert from raw. Layers, gradient filter, levels, curves and some sharpening for web.

Good B&W conversion, although maybe a tad sharp for me. She does look a bit uncomfortable siting there, but I think this adds to the scene

Good shot

Nice idea - slightly heavy handed on the burn for my tastes.

Nice candid. Very Winogrand. Feels a bit sharp though.
