Hi Dave, thank you for the visit. It was most certainly a long time ago. This is a film shot taken when this piece of public art was first installed: https://artandarchitecture-sf.com/bankers-heart.html
As it was originally placed, there was no grass.
I attempted to work with this location on a couple of night visits back in the day.

Thank you for the follow up. Now I see where your coming from.

By golly, you might be right, Mike! Thanks so much.
I keep cringing over the mustard yellow UHH page, though. Some b&w just don't look right

Yep, that's the one. Can't go wrong where there's fog. Absolutely nice black & white even with the UHH yellow. I do understand what you're sayin' there.

Looks like our pirates have followed the call like so many before them. Their fate is sealed.
I got the inspiration for this, two or three years back, from a sculpture of a fan-like form, which lead to the harp shape shown here. I'm not sure about the image, shelved it for a while and have decided it's about done. If you have any opinion or critique I will appreciate it.

Your title is perfect for this image/composite, Dave. However, not knowing while feeding my ignorant mind with Google, I discovered what a siren is. Education is a good thing but apparently I was asleep that day. I also love the concept, altho there is room for more and I'm sure you have more up your sleeve.
What does being a siren mean? Classical Mythology. one of several sea nymphs, part woman and part bird, who lure mariners to destruction by their seductive singing. a seductively beautiful or charming woman, especially one who beguiles men:

Love the image, I would have liked more sky but I see in #2 illustration, not much sky was offered. I think it would have been best to add a sky with some clouds.

This set contains shots that appealed to me, but I am not certain if I got the most out of them.
Your take on them (edit and post if you can) or comments and suggestions would be welcome.

I'll have to go with #3. Nice capture and processing.

Interesting processing. I may have to investigate Topaz Studio 2.

You lot didn’t swipe that bridge from the UK did you Dave? It looks very Brunel-ish.
I think I’d prefer the couple reduced a bit so the guy’s hands are on the flat of the wall. And perhaps a bit of attention to his feet - the lady’s look good but it seems messy at the bottom of his trousers. Quite an unusual composition that does leave you wondering what his problem was.

No, the bridge is here in KY/Ohio but I discovered that the cables were “spun” in place using wire imported from England. A second set of cables was added in 1897 to support heavier loads. https://roeblingbridge.org/
I'll have to agree with you and Linda concerning the man's hands. I should reduce the size of them a little. I think where I made my mistake at the water/feet level was I added a reflection on the water and that area may give off the wrong interpretation I had intended to have. I'm debating if I should fix the issue or create a different but similar composite. I appreciate yours and everyone's opinion that will most certainly guide me in the needed direction.

Striking image, I'd like to see the original. :-)
Thank you. I never gave it any thought to posting the original but I suppose I should have.

This is different Dave. Not quite sure where my thoughts are, but I did learn something from it. Dummy me did not know what Dryad Dance was or is. I guess I have been living in La La Land, which I have to say will go off onto another series of events. Since there is a 2016 movie titled La La Land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8w9rOpV3gc:

There are so many varieties to go with this type of theme and while your comments opens up that field encourages one to explore the mind into another phase of possibilities. Thank you for your honest approach of advise, much appreciated.

Now that Halloween is over, how do you feel? With a sense of humor this type of experiment can and will do wonders ... for some. Love it.
