Very nice, almost surreal. A tad less yellow perhaps? Or maybe my
monitor is saturating it more than it should.
It was rather bland when photographed in color on some other occasions,
which is in part why I fiddled with filters and Photoshop. I don't know if
it's a better photo as a result, still, the exercise of trying to make
something from what was, imo, a failed photo, was worth the effort.

I had an image last winter that I worried to death. There was a
sculptor who had his work displayed in the main market in Krakow. One
of his sculptures was a large face, staring into the main tourist
trap er, attraction on the center, called the Cloth Hall. I
thought it was rather

Very surrealist, Shel. I like the toning, but I would
like to see a straight bw version too.
Great shot

Thanks, Cotty ... I wanted an over-the-top look and feel to the pic, so I
cranked the Hue/Sat up a bit when doing the final PS adjustments. I may
play a bit with toning it down, making a few more adjustments.

Hi Rob ...
Titles ... I never know whether to use 'em or not, or what they should say.
Maybe I should just call the posts Untitled #1, etc.
There may be some shots with the gun bigger in the frame. Took a lot of
pics from different angles and with different lenses over the last year or
so.
Hi Jon ...
It's nice to know that you've found something that resonates for you in the
photograph.
I shot a fair number of similar frames that day, all within a span of two
or three minutes, each with a slightly different position of the gun, a
slightly different relationship between the gun and

It's been fun, and a project like this may never really end. There will
always be another snap, another POV for looking at the scene. It's not a
big deal, and as Ann suggested, maybe I'm putting more time into it than
it's worth.
Hi ...
There's no such thing as a straight BW version for this scene. It was
photographed on past-date Extachrome. Of course, it's always possible to
do a PS conversion to BW.

Funny, I liked exactly because of the lack of context. I actually
ignored the title, as I usually do--sometimes photographers (not Shel,

The image has a surreal quality to it, I think that's what hel was going after.

Hi Juan ... Thanks!
The gun is mounted on a steel rod which is attached to a big, sturdy light
pole. If you look carefully you should be able to see the steel rod and
the tip of the pole. However, I tried to minimize their intrusion into
this photo.

As I told Juan in an earlier message, the gun is on a rod attached to a
long, heavy pole. If you look carefully you can see it. The photo isn't
in any way meant to be a realistic or literal interpretation, and I wanted
to at least suggest that the gun was floating or not attached to anything,
Your description is about the same for me Frank. It is just floating
there and I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe if there were
lettering for the sign it would gel better for me.
Certainly the technical aspects of the image are fine, just seems
incomplete or something.
