FROM CHOLMONDELEY THIS WEEK-END. TOTALLY PHOTOSHOPPED. WHAT DO YOU THINK.

I think it's good. We're totally into the world of comic and book covers and it would be perfect for these. You could even put a title and author on this to complete the thought, but whatever it's for it's a powerful, dramatic and accomplished image.

Thanks John for your comments. The statue is in the paddock at Cholmondeley Hall, It is for the Pageant of power held there every year. The background is from Haslingden last year and has not been altered, it really was that colour.

The figure fits the background really well. It's a strange old statue, but one that definitely suits this style of processing.

Gerry, I went to photograph the Halo which is in Haslingden, last year. I also got a shot of a sky that I don't think anyone would believe me was real it was a burnt purple colour. Maybe there is something going on in Haslingden......

Looks like some kind of 'Marvel' character to me. I find the image a little too dark at the bottom right hand side with no detail at all apparent on my laptop, could be how you wanted it or a fault with my screen. Either way, I do still quite like the image and wish that I had a little more of your imagination.
