It is definely a photo. If you hadn't told us it was done in PP I would have kept wondering. It would have been all good. Great Photo and nice PPing.

Even though I think this looks really very good it's not a photograph, it's now a graphic. So an excellent graphic mate & a lousy photograph:-)

This is a great series David! Great PP work to give an other wordly feeling to the image. My fav of the 3 - I think - I really like #2 also! :-) CJ

This one is just wonderful. Abstract and very subtle. Takes a while to figure out what are we looking at. Also the human figures help to judge the scale of this structure. -Cat

Regarding the result and not worrying about the fundamental problem whether the use of PS effects is against ethical values of photography or not I see that the flood filter does a real good job here. -Gerald

Hi aam1234 (sorry - useless with actual names!),

The original image was of The Sage (it's a new music venue). Dull flat light. These two guys are actually window cleaners - they suspend themselves from the rope - braver than me that's for sure. The water isn't real, but is the result of Photoshop (nobody thinks otherwise - right?) and I added it to hid the quite boring base of the building and to give the image some drama and symetry. For all this might look like a heavily PS'd image only the only real PSing is the water, other than some adjustments of curves, contrast, cropping and resizing.

David.

Wow Dave (Dave, right?) this is great. Care to share with us some info about this pic. Thanks.
