I took this photo in front of my house on the weekend in a small garden. I took this with my Nikon D5100. I had to crop it down and darken the background significantly using layers. I then went in and warmed and yellow the statue a bit. I also brightened up the green in the moss and used the healing brush to take out small spots and clean it up. I also saw some parts that jutted out and broke out St. Francis's shape. I went in and painted each block to clean up the outside. I did have some issues with the original. I need to spend m
I really like this picture. The darkness surrounding the statue give it a mysterious feel as well as acting as a contrasting agent in focusing the viewer's eye on the main point of the picture, the statue. The pose of the statue is also a very calming and gentle pose which overall adds to the picture.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this photo. The way the shadow hits the statue is calming and almost nostalgic from the time that it was built and St. Francis was alive. You did a great job with this one; bravo.
