You've created a very dramatic image for this statue, Paul. I like the play of shadow and highlight - and your tight cropping of the subject really captures the action of the moment. Well done!

Jacquie: "Is that the real background?" No. The background was distracting, so I changed it. I masked off the background, did a bit of hue/saturation adjustment on it, then when I still didn't like it I did a gaussian blur on it which gave this result. :) I tend to fiddle with my pictures in Photoshop usually before I'm finished with them.

This is very nice Paul, is that the real background?
