Finally got around to processing a few pictures from the Crete trip. My exercise for the week was to take colour pictures that made use of deep shadow or silhouette as part of the composition, and I found it very useful. Often when I looked at them later, I found that there was a bit more shadow detail than I had imagined, but there's no harm in that. Here's a typical scene from the back alleys of Chania, which also reminds me of the Luc Besson movie Diva, for some reason. The rider should really be wearing a pair of cool shades, but instead has opted for an expression of baffled irritation, probably because there is a stupid tourist standing in the middle of the alley! I used a bit of dodge and burn so you don't have to see it so clearly
