Hello Ravin
Excellent partial desaturation which gives the effect that the colourful woman is in the present and the street scene is from the past. I am enjoying looking at the images you are posting from your homeland which is one of my favourite destinations. I have visited Nepal 3 times. Cheers, Marlene

Hi Ravin,

I guess everybody have tried partial B&W one day; me I have tried several times at least and it was fun and I often liked the results. But I feel that many people just think it's sort of heretic and I would not dare to post one on TE. I think it has an interesting result here. The woman seems like copied on an image from the 1930s! And it may have helped to diminish the impact of the overexposed spots (basket, shawl, etc.). Good composition here. What I like less is the shadow in the street (fg) and the man looking away instead of participating in the scene. As suggested above by bantonbuju, I also tend to slightly underexpose relatively to the light reading. But I more rarely shoot in raw, although I recognize the advantages; just a practical question.

Cheers, Claude
