The original image is a public domain image from The Met, one of four allegories, earth, air, water, and fire. Done using the poster edges, paint dabs, and oil paint filters. Texture added and the background is one I did for this. Thought I'd share. I'll add the original image.

If you would like, please click on the picture, doing so will link you to the gallery page where the shot can be seen in higher resolution and full page. Thanks for viewing and Have A Blessed Day !!!

It’s nice Dave - but for better clarity I’d prefer a background that had less ‘dappling’ - the darker tones are too similar to those of the subject. Nevertheless, an interesting image and a good one for the series you’re developing here.

ThankYou Dave, easily remedied, I haven’t flattened it yet.

That’s much improved to my eye Dave, perhaps pull the blacks down a little more on the statue - or add a bit of contrast? Just to get it to stand out nicely. Lovely image, I like these statues you’re finding.

Everyone of these works for me. Maybe you should send a copy to the Met and suggest they change their décor!
