WW - Statue Pere Lachaise
A statue in Pere Lachaise. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
It is not so much the statue that catches my eye, it is your technique of using your camera that I find really interesting.... You must tell me the trick... :)
It's certainly impressive. I think I told you I once went round Père Lachaise trying to find Piaf's grave and swearing because people don't die in alphabetical order?
Modern Mom the statue is in teh Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. It is a place that you can spend hours in!
nevin the photo has been manipulated. I played aroudn with light balance, brightness, contrast and colour saturation. Basically I darkened and washed out the colour to make it look a little more melancholy

Is the statue from a cemetery?
That's such an expressive statue. Very life like.
You have created a wonderful mood with your treatment of that photo :-)

Such drama and beauty in that face.
Wow...very intense! Happy WW:)
I really love the lighting in that photo. well done.

Beautiful and expressive. There is something that just seems more familiar and less remote about her than some of the other statues I see.
Nice light in this shot.
Whatever your editions, the result is amazing and very melancholic!
Thanks everyone!
Very well captured
Thanks Tor!
