Fairchild Tropical Gardens
Took this a couple of weeks ago at Fairchild. The sculptures are Botero's.
Only wish I knew how to lighten the sculpture.
Nikon D70ir converted
Lens: 12-24mm f4
Focal length: 12mm
Shutter speed: 1/1600 sec

Comments and critiques are always appreciated.
viveza is what you need. will make your life easier pin pointing areas for dodge and burn etc.
Oscar, I downloaded and lightened shadows on the sculpture. Then I did a high pass filter to give it some texture and lowered the opacity to 40%.
What do you think?
Good work guys !!!
Sid I like the lighter sculpture but just a little less Excellent work !!!
Oscar it is an interesting composition I like the shadows very much and its giving me a strong visual direction and has a strong feel !!! I like it a lot !!!
As Alfred suggested, just a little bit darker.
Very nice! I thought the original was a bit dark and the repost a bit light...this one is great. Oscar, you sure can spot a great scene for IR. I can tell you have an artist's eye for composition too because your stuff is always spot on!
Thank you Julie for your kind words, they mean a lot coming from you. Only wish I had better knowledge of cs3.
Again, thanks.

i can help you with CNX if you need it. awesome program and easy to use! noise reduction beats the pants off of CS3!!!!
Great work Sid. That's exactly what I wanted to accomplish.
Thank you.
PS: Should get my lens by thursday!!!!!!
Thank you Jefe (sorry Fabs)
I like it Oscar. Listen to Mr. Harold on the control points in Capture NX...:cool:
