Description Part of the fountain in front of the Austrian parliamentary building. You can't actually see Pallas Athena here though, she's standing high up on the column.

Adjusted contrast and color balance in PSP.

Wow this is amazing. I like the framing you added to it and I think the clouds really add to the picture along with the color of the sky. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.
Reminds me that I want to take pics of that fountain again. It had been closed for a while, due to renovations on the buildings, but it's accessible again now.

Winkel, darkroom:
Vielleicht ein bissi links abschneiden um der Szene mehr bedeutung zu geben: hat aber auch schon sehr viel! Tolles bild!!

Links abschneiden? Hm, interessante Idee. Ich mΓΆchte schon was von Himmel und Wolken im Bild behalten, aber ein bisschen was hΓ€tte ich wirklich wegschneiden kΓΆnnen, damit nicht so viel Freiraum ist. Danke fΓΌr den Tipp!

This is an exeptional photograph.
There is some serious contrasting going on here
The angle is quite well chosen as for the subject.

wow this is a really interesting piece
I love the contrast of the bright blue modern sky
against the timeless colorlessness of the statues
the movement of clouds against the motionless stone
great work!

what a gorgeous shot, i love the detail, the color of the sky, the statues, the foutain, this is a lovely shot.
The feeling and the mood in this are incredible, i just love this shot..
Would like to see a different boarder, but that is minor and doesn't take away from this...

Thanks for the comment and fav. Means a lot. Even more so when it's coming from you.

What kind of border would you have liked? Having to choose borders sucks...I'm pretty bad at it, it seems.

cybrghst In reply to marble911 [2003-09-04 14:13:47 +0000 UTC]

on that one I would have just went super simle. Actually could have went like the last one i posted. Where you just have the image with .25 black matter behind it. All of yours are usually framed nicely, I am just particular about that one, and the soft blend borders. But that is so minute that it really doesn't matter or take away from the image..

Vienna's definitely worth a visit. But in a Fiaker...with all the cars and fumes next to you? You sure about that?

Well, part of the lighting is a result of playing with contrast in PSP.
