A store in Havana. I'm not sure what things were usually sold there as the store was pretty empty. I think the owner was waiting for a delivery.

For this image I took a slightly different processing path from what I usually do. It's hard to explain as I mostly just follow my intuition. Technically I played a lot more with gradient curves. Those curves I apply only patch-wise by masking those adjustments out where I don't want them. If you do this to an image a lot I think it's important to look at the image in its whole from time to time to see if it still has an harmonic appearance. If a picture looses its "pop" or you're looking for some extra spice, the presets in Topaz Adjust are there to help you out.
