Intercession

St. Peter's Basilica
Rome, Italy
This was an ISO 1600 hand held shot, so it is very grainy and very soft. I added a spotlight filter to keep from blowing out the entire photo, a bit of texture and changed it to BW to get rid of color pixels. I would love any PS advice for improvement. Although not a good quality photo, the scene was one of my personal favorites.

I love hte grainy effect here and the spotlight filter that draws your attention to the kneeling nun. It is an image filled with emotion and mystique. Wonderful work! #3660394Pamela Shane December 03, 2006
