Aye, Aye shipmates.

Does this work? Selectively darkening by almost a stop, all except the face and hair of the near pirate.

Edit: Just to add, with the DA 21 I bought from Simon

That's excellent Alan. I do like that the woman about to remove the lads head is the scary one of the two pirates You've captured her face and hair well.

Having bought the lovely 15mm DA Ltd I do wish people would stop tempting me with the rest though

Thanks Bill and Mike. I do a lot of subtle vignettes on bird photos. Nothing as obvious as this.

Should have mentioned. These weren't exceptionally tall pirates. They were actually on stilts

This may sound odd but I think it's better if you crop off the wee boys head at the bottom

I think the female pirate had the same idea, Ken.

Really lovely shot, Alan.

Cruel, but probably right Ken

Thanks for feedback. The selective darkening was done with the new Radial Filter in LR 5. Seems like a handy, easy to use addition.
