Today, I took a stroll around the nearby crematorium. I found it to be full of spring, with literally thousands of crocuses and many other things coming out in bloom. But this statuette took my eye. I could not see who it was dedicated to, but I imagine the bereaved must have thought she was beautiful, or perhaps the deceased was keen on such beautiful works of art. That remains private.
I knelt down to the ground to get a shot, but could not quite clear the intrusive background of a tiled roof, so I cloned this out. But then I felt that the statue's weathered appearance did not reflect the beauty intended, so I played with Levels to give a pleasing silhouette effect of black on deep blue, but then her beautiful form was not shown off. I then hit the Gradient Tool to find this copper effect.
