This is the head of a sculpture in West Quay Shopping centre in Southampton. The piece, called, 'In The Swim' was commissioned for the centre from artist Jon Buck. You can see the full piece on his website - http://www.jonbucksculpture.com/ - under Commissions.
This was a lunchtime snap that's been processed in Silver Efex Pro 2.
Wow...it's amazing to see the shot of the full sculpture, and then your shot. I love what you've done with it.....the shot and processing is amazing! Fav! :-)
@bluefirebucket I walk past it five days a week, and to my shame, this is the first time I've ever stopped and really looked at it properly. I'd never even seen the plaque with his name on. Having been to his site, I agree - he's done some fabulous work.
@aineo It's far & away the best/most enjoyable piece of editing software I've ever bought. For mono conversions, there's nothing better. My only moan about it is my version screws up my Lightroom keyword library, but I get around this by going into it via PS Elements rather from LR direct.
I'd recommend the you download the trial & have a play. If it's too pricey, then Topaz B+W Effects isn't bad either, but it just can't get that metallic effect the SFX can. :)
Nice shot, by the way.
