Bobby Bandiera sings Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at the Count Basie Theatre. At the Count Basie Theatre a Review of "Hope Concert III, " benefit featuring Jon Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bobby Bandiera, Mark Pender, Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg, Tim McLoone & the Shirleys. Photo by ARISTIDE ECONOMOPOULOS/THE STAR-LEDGERThis photo is an all-encompassing photo that basically captures Bandiera in a seeming act of adulation to his audience. For this photo, I cropped it down to 220 px x 332 px. After cropping, I used curves for color adjustments and lastly, sharpen for a clearer image.
The 332 px x 220 px crop of this is purely selfish. I simply wanted to stare at his gorgeous electric guitar that probably cost a fortune. To get this, after cropping it down to desired size, I did auto color first to see how it would adjust it and I like how it did it. After doing that, I adjusted color and sharpened. Voila!

This photo I cropped to 135 x 101 px. Since the photo is so small, I wanted to keep it simple and limited my actions to a slight adjustment to the color with curves and sharpening it.
This photo is also super small but it has a different focus. I wanted to concentrate on the beautiful artwork inside the church, the stained glass windows and the two painting-that are partially cut off on both upper extreme corners. I first cropped the image to 280 px x 100 px. I pressed auto color first just to see how it would change the picture. I love how it brightened up my main focus, the glass windows. To reduce yellowness, I used curves again and sharpened it and there goes a beautiful masterpiece.
