Neptune's Nymph


	Neptune's Nymph One of the two sea nymphs that form part of Neptune's Court, in the colossal decorative fountain in front of the Library of Congress. She occupies a masonry niche to the right of Neptune; I liked how the half-dome of her niche suggested a scallop shell of radiating lines. Texture layer added, along with Levels, Curves, spot clone, Soft Light layer and others. Chris Budny

I thought it was a shell before I read this. Very nicely done AND you kept her modesty... :-)

Ps---yes, Nikki; I added a kind of grungy texture layer. The original image shows very uniform-toned, flat stone masonry (which had some surface texture; it isn't a smooth-cut marble.)
