Hatman, a photo from Jalisco, Pacific Coast

Photographer's Note

Daily life on the beach in Puerto Vallarta means a steady stream of people selling all sorts of things. They walk up and down the beach, carrying beads, food, blankets, hats. Anything you want for a bargain (literally). About one person per minute. I wonder if they space themselves out to certain increments intentionally?

PP of the background:
- contrast
- saturation
- smoothing

Hi josh,
I am sorry but I am not completely convinced by your PS. The contrast between the sharpness of the subject and the posterization of the background is a bit shocking. A less intrusive PS would have been, in my opinion, preferable.
Ciao, Dario
