Processed image: after

Week 45 of 52 of Twenty Eleven: Processed image (before and after)

 

Plaça Catalunya, right in the centre of Barcelona, where pickpockets and bag-snatchers prey on unsuspecting tourists feeding the pigeons and taking photos.

I love Barcelona, but despite living here for years, I look like a "guiri" (foreigner), so as a potential target, I feel I have to be constantly on my guard, watching my back and clutching my bag or camera. Many people say it's no worse than any other big city, but maybe they've just been lucky.

 

As my Photoshop skills are still minimal, I used Picnik to process this.
