Description .
I was impressed by the enormous action of this majestic sculpture,
the bodies,... twisted in motion seem to accentuate the struggle of the fallen warrior,
the Artist transformed the stone into 'Eternal Flesh' !
.
tech-talk - I separated the image into two layers : sky & sculpture, added a bit of gaussian blurr to the sky to highlight the sculpture and gave a touch of lens flair to the sun, 'rear -curtain' flash mode was used.
thru some color manip made the sepia tones spicy.

there's a statue in the centre of Finland's capital Helsinki where three naked smiths are doing what smiths do.. It's a pretty impressive statue.

Hey - thanks so much for telling us how you get your best shots - serisouly, man - for neophytes like me, it's a really big deal to get an idea like that. I admire the shit out of your work - you're combining excellent composition with masterful digital darkroom touches, and for someone like me who's using a digital SLR and photoshop for the first time - your gallery is a big deal. So, for what it's worth to you - thanks Even though you described it - I'm still blown away by your shot of the carnival ride...do you have any literature or books that you swear by/learned a ton from?

This is an awfully great piece; both photo and statue. I'm surprised that I have resisted the calling of it for so long. Instant - I finally found some time to comment; if If I have to fave more images, then I will come back to put this one back on top

well to cutt off the foot was a bad idea. the color tone is quite boring. especially it doesn't work for the sky. the use of lens flare was just the worse idea you could have. the only good thing about the picture is the statue. fortunatelly you couldn't spoil that.

mikepav [2003-05-15 21:35:55 +0000 UTC]

yes i love the colors... and i think that not showing the faces gives it the feeling of mystery... who are these warriors and why does the dominating one seem to be so much smaller? i am not educated on much sculpture so i dont know what this piece is... but i love the sky and the tones... and your digital touchup is great although i dont think it needs the lens flare...

one thing that disturbes me though is the foot that is half way out the picture. if it wasn't for that I'd say it's a perfect piece! lovely! great work!
