Canon 70D iso 2000 f/11 1/500 15mm on an ef 15-85

Street scene. Havana Cuba.

This was shot with bad exposure as my camera was set for a different shot of a different subject, but I wanted to grab the scene as it happened. When I tried to salvage the shot in Lightroom, it brought out a grittiness that I think ultimately served the photo. The lightroom work was salvaging details and converting to black and white. I also removed a detail from the young boys shirt. I bumped texture to enhance the grit.

One of the things I like about this photo is that I am still not sure if the compelling subject of the photo is the young women on the left of the adult on the right passively watching.
