Making baskets in Cuba by Esther Steffens

May 2021 - Making baskets in Cuba

About the Image(s)

In January 2015 I did a tour of Cuba. This image was taken at a place where women made baskets and hats. Since this is an iPhone picture, I increased the resolution in Topaz Gigapixel. I don’t have any data from this.

Very nice image of a person at work. It is frustrating that phones don't show more information. So that is where Gigapixel can be used. Of course a sale just ended. I need to get my plug-ins organized.   Posted: 05/09/2021 19:23:06

Judy, I love the Topaz AI suite and Topaz Studio 2. I use the AI Denoise the most, followed by a couple things in Studio 2. I like the patch of sun on her face but am not good about leveling out the darker places.   Posted: 05/09/2021 20:07:17

Very nice portrait. I think the dark hollows of her eyes and concentration tell a story of a lifetime of hard work.   Posted: 05/23/2021 15:49:37

Nice image of the women making baskets. The reeds in front of the basket look sharper than the women. I think you can move the focus point on the phone.   Posted: 05/24/2021 13:28:09

This image displays a craftswoman showing intense concentration, and the lines of basketry material provide a very strong composition - the woman`s head downwards creates a pyramid of shape and interest. No highlights are blown out - a good submission Esther.   Posted: 05/25/2021 11:18:17
