Paint Shop Pro, a photo from Serbia, Nord

Photographer's Note

this is actually a shop for pro and other painters in the town of Jagodina, 136km south of Belgrade in central Serbia.

Luckily I didn't have to go inside to buy some colours since I got them for free under the afternoon light outside.

my fisheye decided to compose so all RGB are happy and to 'humantouch' the image with the little princess in red - I decided to tonemap the single frame I took and edit it with NikColorEfex plugins in Photoshop (and not with Corel software, as the title might suggested to some of you ;)

Hi, Kostas -

It's rare to see a fisheye shot here. I'm not sure what it adds in this case, but I like the splashes of red in the girl's vest, the traffic sign, and the store letters - they all tie together neatly.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Kostas
I like the fisheye effect but we only kept ours for a short time as it's use is limited. Here it was an excellent choice. The distortion and bright colours make this shot so dynamic. Having the girl and the shadow help too.
Regards
Nikki

Hi kostas,
It's interesting that the blue sky seems like a ceiling because white fringes appear around the wires. This is a very nice composition with vibrant red of the traffic sign and the girl's clothes expertly placed. An another light on her is very good for her.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Hi Kostas,
Another very striking composition from you and your fisheye, a kind of exploration of spherical space. I particularly like the triangle made by the three red patches, the strongly saturated colours and the pattern made by the wires, converting the sky into a kind of geodesic dome.
The way the hair over the girl's face follows the horizontal lines of the building creates a strong sense of movement. Was it very windy?
Very inventive title too.
John
