More sculpture from the Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition. I have cropped this, added a gausian blur, adjusted the levels, enhanced the colurs and applied an unsharp mask. I am much happier with this than the original. It was difficult to get a decent shot of this so thank heavens for the "digital darkroom"

  Love it Paul. Such an unusual subject - great colours and love the vertical composition (couldn't have been anything else I know!). Good work on it from the original.

  The wonders of photoshop have saved many "would be spectacular but...."shots :-) You really transformed this into a beautiful piece of art!
