Sad Lookin' Moon

Sad Lookin

Uploaded: May 05, 2006

Description

Re-entered for the 101 Group Alabama Song Title Theme

This composition is exactly as found among the wild raspberry leaves in my back yard
(yard-art left there over the winter). The only thing I did for the shot was to place a black card
behind the statue to mask the background. Hand held shot, 1/125 at f5.6.

I applied a 'bad dream' filter to the image, and made some minor adjustments with clone tool, unsharp mask and saturation.
