Hello world.

I rarely, well.. never post in this particular forum.
Although I like photography a lot, did some myself in one of the best European schools, and had decent results which I may scan & post some day.

Anyhow, let's make a point:


Been asked to turn this into a... "flyer" of sorts for some religious celebration. For a south italian audience,
you know, Roman-Catholic culture, keen on kitsch, and on fine figurative art and design as well.

Last time I did this, I just picked the easy "old pic" yellow/brownish looks, with an appropriate font and text.

This time, while some color balancing strikes me as the first thing to do, in order to "outline" the girl and make her stand out,
the pink/blue contrast in the back is just so appealing to me I am unable to spoil it and get started.
I don't know what to do with that pic, hence the call for help. Help! Just need... pointers, or an "unbiased" point of view (she's my niece, a jewel in many ways).

Nice photo and charming niece _Mauro. I'm finding hard to envisage what kind of end product you are aiming for here. At first I thought you meant to extract the girl from the photo, but after reading again, "This time, while some color balancing strikes me as the first thing to do, in order to "outline" the girl and make her stand out,
the pink/blue contrast in the back is just so appealing to me I am unable to spoil it and get started"
I'm guessing you don't
You say a you have done something like this before, so are there any other elements you need to include on the flyer, from the religeous point of view? Church name or parish, a particular holy day or celebration like Baptisim?

Or do you want the whole picture used as the flyer with more of a blurred background, and any text on top of that?
