Yellow SEAT, a photo from Southern Finland, South

Photographer's Note

It was a dull dreary day in Helsinki, perfect for a b/w shot...one thing stood out though, the yellow Seat. So I decided to keep it in its original color.

Hello Philipp,
good idea with desaturation! Nice composition.

Sweet angle! I love how the car is sort of sneaking into the shot. Excellent composition/framing/POV! I love how it feels so lively compared to the dull vertical lines of the buildings :) Excellent idea and realization! TFS! Julia

Hi Philipp

What a great shot, great DoF and of course the car stands out perfectly. It looks clean too which must have been a bonus on a rainy day. I'd love to know how to do this techique ( I assume it was done in PS?) If you have any tips I'd appreciate it. Excellent shot

Hi Philipp,

i see you like to play with partial desaturation. Me too. What a wonderful technique it is, sometimes you take an otherwise ordinary photograph and give it a new meaning or quality.
Good job for this one.
