There were two versions of this. Obviously this one, and another where they had their heads so scrunched together they totally blocked the boys vision in the center.
I liked this one, because you can see them all, But this one had a kid on a bike riding through (I thought it was a car at first). The other one had the rest of that stand, along with some writing on the stand that showed the price, well half the price.
The second version I liked the magazine because you could tell they wanted to see the comics. I combined the two images and got rid of the girl, and the price because there was no saving that. Straightening it removed some detail as well.
I can't quite figure out what that shop is, other than it looks like a repair store. There is a bit of everything in the window. Oh and I cloned out the reflection of a car, it would have made things weird if I added color there. I also removed whatever those white things were.
I liked this image overall because it was just a simple story of kids enjoying a magazine together. You could almost see yourself in there.
