Ramon by Jan Michael Vincent Castillo

I caught this child resting after mowing in a rice field this harvest season.

at such a young age, he is forced to do this kind of labor, because poverty is a bitch.

thanks Kelvin, Alexa, and Cowboy for your comments and time viewing. the post processing was (using Adobe Photoshop) •duplicated the original twice •sent the blending mode of the top most layer to multiply then desaturate to almost black and white •desaturated the middle layer but not so much..around -10 to -30 will do •masked out parts of the topmost layer that appeared to be too dark.(using a opacity and flow of 20 to 50% depends on how much you too dark areas you want to hide) •copy merged •applied dodge and burn to the merged layer this one depends to what suits your taste I think •unsharp mask using a low radius about 0.8 or 1 then play with the amount cheers
