Dear Bikramadittya,
Thanks for your comments.
I just want to explain about the red background. This photo was taken about 10 years ago, using film and Cokin color correction filter on the lens. There's no special effect added later by PS or similar. The color of the background was only stressed by Cokin filter, usually used in black and white photography. This is an old way photo.

Welcome Akas,
As you asked for, here goes some suggestions:
1) Increase the contrast and adjust the balance between black/white, so you will have a better color saturation.
Please see attached what I suggest for your photo.
If you want to contact me, my email is mauroma@terra.com.br
Congrats

Hi Carmem,
Really liked the image with omni effects. It really shows the "mood" of Paraty.

Nice work Fabio, you captured the textures of the mosaic very well.
Just curious, where or what is Calvia? Any place near Utopia?
Congrats

Congratulations Pat, this b/w portrait is great. Strong blacks and striking whites, even Ansel Adams would be proud of this work.

Nice shot but I agree with Sandy, a crop on the left would enphasize the window and the subject, be it you (the photographer) or the dance.
Is it what they call "metalinguistic" of photography? The photographer as his/her own subject?
I like it.
Congratulations
Post scriptun: crop the left and try to remove the chairs, focus the attention on the window. Try it.

Great, looks like an arrow up to the sky.
Great composition with good care of the lines. The color of the bells fit well with the overall sepia tone.

Hi Anna Maria,
Touching photo. The irony of pessimism is that nothing can be worse. Maybe it's time to cheers up.

Oi,
Gostei do "grafismo" da flor e da saturação das cores.
Estas flores ficam lindas na contra-luz também.
