NEW ASHMOLEAN PART 7 zzzzz!!!

[porkchop_express]

Howdy Mike! I think this is my favorite set yet. I had quite a difficult time picking a favorite, but I think it is the 3rd. I just love the soft tones of the statue. What did you use to on the 1st to acheive that beautiful sky, a graduated filter? Whatever you did, it looks great.

Feels like the first shot is drawing me up to the gods.
Thanks for sharing these great shots.

The Asmoleon front has that classic look so it seemed a good way of editing it
thanks for your comments

thanks lindy

HI Mike!
i loved the Ashmoleum front on your first set but this one is even better..
the sky enhanced the detail and the curves of the column..
great interplay of the blue sky and the almost 'sepia' front..
it reminds me of your Radcam actually but this one is livelier..
my fave though is the silhouette in a rush at the stairs..it tells a story on it own..
you know how i love stories..
