It was taken in a small restaurant and I was drawn to the interaction between two members of the staff, one shown here and another out of frame in this image. I took several shots and chose this one as having the most interesting expression on the woman\u2019s face. (See the original image below).<\/p>\n<p>Post capture manipulation consisted of cropping to a square format followed by Hue\/Saturation to desaturate the image somewhat. This was followed by Glamour Glow to give the image a slightly dreamy effect, with a layer mask to remove the effect from the woman. Brightness\/Contrast was then used to darken the image, again with a layer mask to remove the effect from the woman. The Analogue Nik Filter gave the effect I wanted and Paper Toner was used to convert the image to monochrome. A series of Viveza and Levels layers, together with Darken\/Lighten Centre, were used to adjust the lighting. A number of Clone layers were used also to remove minor distractions.<\/p>\n<p>This image has had international acceptances at the 3rd Africa Photographic Awards 2017, 7th Cheltenham International Salon of Photography 2019 (England), Cyprus International Digital Photo Competition 2019 (Cyprus), 1<sup>st<\/sup> Edinburgh Photographic Society Digital Salon 2021 (Scotland) and it won a bronze medal at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Swedish International Small Print Exhibition 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon D810, Nikkor 50mm prime lens, ISO 3200, f\/2.8, 1\/160 sec.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-713\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Enthralled-Original-for-Blog.jpg\" alt=\"Enthralled-Original-for-Blog\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Enthralled-Original-for-Blog.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Enthralled-Original-for-Blog-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This image is from my trip to Barcelona in November 2015.
