Caught in a Secret School yard 03

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 28 December 2006 in People & Portrait.

Well this is the last of the 3 school yard shots before I move on to my next photoshop challenge.
I called this Caught in a Secret because, well just look at the photo it says it all.
Just simple mods to this with conversion to greyscale played with the contrast etc before fading around the kids. Converted back to RGB so I could use the lighting effects as they don't work in greyscale, something new I worked out by playing.
Anyway enjoy

Great shot Darren. love the expressions and wahey on the PS treatment. Btw..no PS treatment up for today from me as its basically the same as yesterdays but with excessive(!) blurring.
