I took this picture this summer, even though it is not technically the best shot it happens to be one of my favorites. C & C Please...

Shot on South Street in Philadelphia, PA

Blue outlines around tree branches bug me. And how blue kind of reflects on everything like buildings and the chair. Just me, i dunno.

i see but you also took out all of the blue in the windows and the art piece behind him and the carpet. that is their color. u could of down replace color around where the tree is to get rid of the outline... that way it wont effect everything around it. and the sponge tool to desaturate the stool, the shoes, the suite, and everything else... but the reflections are natural if you have a blue sky above you.

But was the building in the back actually blue? Has anyone been there who can say the paint on the walls was blue? Do you want Busker to look like he's sunburned with what you did in the last edit? Yeow, too much red on the flesh tones and you made the trees even more blue!

No I didn't do anything to the picture besides the cloths and the stool. All I wanted to show that you made the corrections over dramatic. I also just wanted to show that there are ways to change colors without affecting all of the colors around it. I didn't really focus on the tree and I didn't focus on the skin, if I had spent more time on it... I probably would of. Yes if I remember correctly the shutters are blue and I know the mosaic definitely has blue in it. Either or... blue sky will give a bluish tint to your highlights when shooting outside, it's normal. You don’t want to over correct.

I think it looks too colorful with all the blue. It looks more like a photo of the subjects timeframe with the blue removed.
