Great image. I like how the colors fit the topic; it seems like you had a premonition of this topic already in June 2004.

Really interesting take...gives it a completely different feel. In my opinion, though, it's just playing around too much with the reality of the shot.

I like this picture but every time I look at it I wonder how it would look if the bust was the same size as the man's head. So I pulled it into PS and did a quick and dirty enlargement.



What do you think?

Thank you Mary Anne. Yes, I duplicated the background layer, applied gaussian blur to it, added a layer mask and painted on it to get back the main subject.

Moti, this is much better now with the background statue blurred. I've never been able to do that so neatly. Did you use layers, or what?

Very interesting with all the shades of white and the intensity in the face of the man. I haven't decided whether I like the statue in the background to give depth to the image or whether it's just a distraction.
