When Art Meets Trash by kannafoot

When Art Meets Trash

First, let me state for the record, that the subject of this photo is allegedly an artistic sculpture. No, I'm not joking! That's supposedly art. Of what, I have absolutely no idea. This was "discovered" when I set out to photograph another sculpture that's right next to this "masterpiece." You'll see that one eventually, too. It's too good to pass up. This little gem, though, was just begging to be photographed. All that trash on the ground is actually part of the sculpture. Everything is attached, including the bucket. As to what this represents, I couldn't even begin to hazard a guess.

Post processing started with a brilliant cold filter in Topaz Adjust. This beauty just had to be displayed in color. I adjusted adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, details, adaptive saturation, and color regions. I also added a slight levels adjustment in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2013/i-GtLqrzw/0/XL/2013%2003%2004_0015%20copy-XL.jpg

Actually, I find it quite pleasing in a whimsical kind of way. One man's art is another man's poison.....shapes, colours, shock-value.
