Aldeburgh's scallop at night by dulciknit

Aldeburgh's scallop at night

Edit for clarification - I 'painted' the scallop with light from a torch (flashlight) and it's a two shot merge with the just the moon from a different exposure blended in to the original. The long exposure needed for the scallop 'blew' the moon out.
Here is a link to some info. about the sculpture : http://www.suffolkcoastal.gov.uk/yourfreetime/arts/scallop/

@judithdeacon Thank you Judith for your lovely comment. The lighting is not all natural - I "painted" the scallop with light from a torch.

Such a beautifully done photo, love it!

You are so clever, this is fabulous

Love the forced perspective here. The background tones are wonderful too. The foreground painting is just the right intensity. There is always a tendency to over paint objects like that, but what you have managed is a good tonal balance against the background. Nice work.

I'm so impressed by your technical skills and vision Alison, this has worked beautifully. Fav
