It has boosted mid tone colour just a little and and individual colour channel luminance as to have some boost as well as reducing clarity to give some soft effect.  (Bee below small image).
Then desaturated about 50% fro surrounding of main brunch.

Before desaturate the surrounding.

Above shot is the original situation shot. Because of the shutter timing that I really liked, I made two more cut from same frame.  Those two image are basically top side and bottom side with 8x10 ratio cut.

When I took this I was aimed to the shoes in situation as that was the motivation of the shot. Well, this girl had just walked in to the frame and looked back just in time.  If I was using tele lens it is differently missed this situation.  If I was really lucky and aimed to the poster behind her with tele (say 85mm) that will be great shot by capturing more surrounding of her.

Only regret ion this is I could slightly adjust a framing to the right...

Ok, it's raining for few days now. I did some indoor shots with available light setting with digital first and then film (not yet developed). Ummm... I think it's a little bit of front focus or more likely too shallow in DOF.  It may be F4 would be better instead of F2.8.
