Persephone
Uploaded: February 26, 2006
Persephone, daughter of Zeus, awaits her annual release and the resulting arrival of spring.
The rainy day allowed for some soft lighting through a large picture window. Lens 50mm, 1/100 sec, f/1.4.
Played with filters - watercolor, brushstrokes, etc. in Photoshop.
