Description

I was stopped in traffic on the way to Sayen Gardens in New Jersey. It wasn't the dancer sculptures that caused the jam-up--no, it was an ordinary red light. Convenient for photography! But the turquoise truck in front of me had a very large side-view mirror, that looked like a big dark blob on the front of the second car. I had to make it disappear and then attempt to clone a new grill and headlight. It looked kind of cartoonish, so I decided to make everything but the sculptures also cartoonish. Works for me.

Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 320, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 184.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D Mark II

Great work with a difficult situation. To answer your question that barn is more like a shed for storage. #11305487

This was well worth getting caught in the traffic jam. I often see some really great scenes when driving in the "moving" traffic & can't pull up. Very good DDR work=^..^= #11317536
