Another photo from our trip to Grounds For Sculpture. This statue was 20 feet in front of where I parked the car. Parking I thought it was an actual person - not a sculpture - it is so life-like. Based upon that I took two photos, one focused and one slightly out of focus. I layered them with the out of focus on the bottom, changed the opacity so it would bleed through to get a 3-dimensional look.
