You've shot this at the best time of day... while there's still some light in the sky to contrast or harmonise with the floodlighting. It works well... but, wow, that is one crap piece of public sculpture.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's either a real one, or a replica of a native American/Canadian statue in a sense. I learnt about them years ago, but obviously the knowledge didn't stick. i think essentially they were used as markers, or messages. Either way, it's a little deeper than a simple sculpture.
Carl, I'm confused. Are there words missing from your comment, i.e., do you mean that you don't want to walk in the ocean?
Martin, please indulge me on your method of making your recent photos look old. I love it.

Thanks, your HDR creations have been my inspiration to become more familiar with the technique. Do you have a flickr account so that I can add you as a contact?
The method that I have been using is quite simple.
1) I search through flickr for photographers who allow people to download high-resolution files of textures for layering in one's own work. The texture that I used on my latest post in this thread came from NinianLif's texture set on flickr.
This group on flickr has loads and loads of textures available for download.
2) Once you have picked your texture open up CS3 with the texture and photograph you want to apply it to.
3) Simply layer the texture on top of photograph. Once you have done that, you can edit the saturation, contrast, levels, etc. on the texture to your liking.
4) Take out your eraser tool. I've been using mine at about 200 pixels wide but it really depends on how large your photos are when you edit. Set the opacity of the eraser at around 25% and start erasing away at the top layer (the texture) to reveal your photograph on the layer below it. Once you have erased to your liking, you can lower the opacity and use smaller erasers for touch-ups.
5) That's it. From there you can do any edits that you generally apply before flattening the image.
I'm usually not a fan of tilted shots, but I made an exception this time

The quality level of this thread is slowly getting better, me thinks. Congrats everybody, there's some great work being shown.
baby molly, my newly adopted baby cousin, from Kazakhstan,... she's NICE!

thanks
I agree. Without those wires, that pic would be excellent. Try to photoshop them out...it'll be quite the feat if you could pull it off. It's still a nice pic though.
