Knowledge Is Power [28046 General ]
Uploaded: June 01, 2004 03:55:10
5/30/04, 3:37 p.m., full shade, f/8, 1/40, ISO 200, no flash, handheld. Converted to sepia, light contrast enhancement and added texture in PS Elements 2. No cropping. Statue outside Parliament building in Bern. Liked the diagonal created by the hands and draped fabric, so I opted to shoot that instead of whole statue.

Good morning Jan, we always seem to post our pictures close to each other! Love this one, always enjoy your work. #570115Gianna Stadelmyer June 01, 2004
Thanks so much, Paul, Tammy, Colette, Claudia, Allan, Carolyn, Donna, Mike, Kenton, and Elisabeth! I was SUPPOSED to go to some spectacular (from what I hear) waterfalls about two hours from here on Sat. I was all set to get some cool shots and try my hand at that lovely "soft water" effect. We got four blocks from home and the 15 month old transmission on our '96 van blew! I was crushed, but decided to go out and find some things to shoot anyway. This was my favorite from the day:-) #570160Donna J. Taff June 01, 2004
This is a great shot, Jan!!!! #570181Darren K. Fisher June 01, 2004

Very nicely done Jan..the Sepia effect certainly fits into the over all feeling of being outdoors in the weather..Gary O #570618Kelly Abernathy June 01, 2004
Very nice! -K #570695Stanley J. Contrades June 01, 2004
Your selecting the closeup choice makes a more powerful statement, Jan, along with the positioning of the right hand which appears to have just completed or on its way to writing something. Super job and nice choice of toning!!Karen Bacon June 01, 2004

This Prespective Works Well Jan! Good Ps Work!! #571457Carol Brill June 01, 2004
I like the close-up perspective here, Jan, your composition really emphasizes the hand and the book--to go along with your title--as well as the texture and detail in the statue. #571787Stephen Zacker June 01, 2004
Great composition! #571896Wally Orlowsky July 17, 2004
