Shaping up the great sculpture, I decided to take it against the great blue sky. On the right side of the picture was the sun hence the lighter color. No, it is not a gradient effect. There is no filter on the camera and all I did in photoshop is adjust the curve for contrast and ran a layer of Digital Velvia Filter at 23% transparency. The 15mm gave the perspective I was looking for.

Great lighting and shadows on this one! I like the detail and thanks for the description of your technique. The bridge in the background looks familiar from some of your other shots.... a photo-rich environment!

Great shot. The small web format doesn't do the sharpness justice. Interesting technique you've applied. I will have to look up this 'Digital Velvia' filter, I think it's exactly what I've been looking for.

A very pleasing photograph! The only objection is the branches in the upper right side of the frame. They seem to intrude into the composition.
