VACATION – DAY 5 : SAMURAI CATCH by sangwann

VACATION – DAY 5 : SAMURAI CATCH

July 18th: At Montreux. While strolling along the promenade at Lake Geneve, I noticed this Eastern-looking (probably Japanese or Chinese) guy taking a picture. The posture brought to mind a samurai warrior with sword in hand ready for a frontal attack. I was so engrossed in his posture and on taking a quick shot of him before he moved that I didn’t know what he was snapping at. When I looked at the picture on my pc I saw that his subject was completely hidden behind another man who was also taking a shot at his partner. So I did some processing and produced this result. The original picture is inset.
Thank you so much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday’s picture.
Excellent result! Great example of post processing producing a human interpretation of what the dumb camera saw.

Great shot Dione! Sure brings a smile! The original is not bad, but the editing you did turns a good shot into a great shot. So fun!
