Photographer's Note

Bet Lehem is a pilgrimage place for Christians to see the birth-place of Jesus. It is a crowded, poverty-stricken place nowadays. While walking towards the Nativity Church, I noticed this poster on the wall. Not reading arabic, I am not quite sure whether this is a "Wanted" poster or a "Vote for us" poster... Could very well be the latter. The good thing is that it looks like an old poster.

Hi Tudor,
great capture of a corner in a very interesting city. The shot against the light works well in your picture. It lacks a bit of contrast. So I have made a little WS. Besides the poster is from the movement 'al-jihad ul-islami'.
Kind regards,
Roland

You already know about the contrast and the levels....which the workshop addresed.

In a similar situation you may twant to eliminate tryhe sky complwetely as this backlight is what fooled your camera in the first place.

Great Job.
