Golden Boy

I took this as I was entering the main square yesterday with my coworkers as we were getting a coffee at the farmers market. I played with the processing in RAW, and merged this image from two images created with the same RAW file, thus I retained that great foreboding sky and a decent exposure on said golden boy. You can see one of the towers of the town hall as well.

Oooh, fantastic! I love that sky!

wow

[ShadowDancer]

How very dramatic!

[Judith]

Well done! The different tones and lights are striking.
It sounds all very complicated to me (who has never shot anything in RAW nor merged any images) but it definitely paid off.

[Bob Hettinger]

Beautiful! What an ominous sky, too! The tilt of the camera really helps with the eerie mood of the photo!

[MikiChelle]

interesting composition & perspective.

[Shannon Pitton]

The drama in that sky is stunning. This perspective is wonderful. A realy treat to be able to see that tower.

[Elizabeth Hanna]

Oh yes.... that is fantastic.

[Allison Williams]

Love the picture and the explanation. You are using your knowledge to become a better artist.

[FaerieMoon]

Very dramatic clouds and ornate statue
