Lightroom: Street Photography

Challenge #2 in the The art of real photography series. Hosted by Paul Kowalow.

Challenge has finished

Digital post-processing enhances photography in so many ways that the process has become de-facto an art in itself. In this challenge, select a "street" photo and use your favorite Lightroom or Aperture adjustments to set the mood and tone of the picture. The goal is to enhance the picture so it tells the story in a more dramatic and interesting way.
