Title: Couple

Today's reprocessing of a photo I took Saturday seems to me better than yesterdays reprocessing of it, so I ask you for your critique.

Bruce, there is something in it... I like it.

Speaking of reprocessing, I would experiment further with perhaps slightly desaturating it (i.e., going for an aged look), and maybe cropping it to eliminate the distracting window pane on the right. Me think.

I tried cropping it more on the right, but it didn't seem to work out.  Desaturating seems much more promising.  And still seems more promising as I rewrite this and post a more current and yellow desaturated improvement.  Thanks for the suggestion; desaturation was more even help to another photo like this one.  I guess before this I had thought of desaturation as tented black & white and hadn't found much use for it.  Twenty % or just enough to look intentional may work for me when being mannered suits.
