In the element - a photo on Flickriver

In the element

In December we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Millbrae near the San Francisco International Airport. As customary in Hong Kong, guests like to meet in the restaurant ahead of time to play Mahjong, a four-player tile-based game.

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
