Day 26
I have always had a fascination with this head stone. It is of an angle weeping, something just speaks to me about this statue. I believe I used one of Brad's textures. Shot in IR and channel swapped
What an emotive sculpture in that grieving angel - texture makes it appear to be snowing, and complements the idea of the cold and bereft. I do wonder though, if the power of this sculpture would be better served with a different composition - I'm not sure what, perhaps a closer view? - with the present composition, it has the expansiveness of a typical landscape image, so my eye travels lightly everywhere in the shot, and I might not have noticed the angel had I not read your photographer comments. Obviously it's there in the title too, but if this shot had no title, would your intent have come across?
Wow - this is just gorgeous and very moving. What a brilliant job you did with the blue sky and the white white stones. The overlay adds some distance and even more interest.
All the processing and overlays in this come together to make an magnificent image ( no wonder you are fascinated with the headstone it is very emotive )
