    Another one from Recolata Cemetary in Buenos Aires. Cropped a bit from the top. Converted to B and W, used NIK B and W filter and then coloured pencil in CS4.

    Jackie, I like the shading on the face but might be tempted to lighten the area around face by neck just a bit. Someone really created a piece of art here with that face!! Very nicely captured. The tones and shading really add to the feel!

    Did a bit of dodging and burning on the neck.

    Probably from the 1800's Denise. Found this link of you want a bit more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Recoleta_Cemetery Gives you an idea of dates. Eva Peron is buried here.

    Jackie, Thanks for the link-1800's is pretty old. I'm surprized she has held up so well. Did you see Eva Peron's gravesite?

    Denise, I did take a shot of her crypt, but it didn't have nearly the character that some of the other ones did.
