No flash was used but the sky was bright overcast and the sun was in front of the subject so I had to screw about to get any detail in the shadow areas. The grass around them was pretty trampled so I elected to de-saturate to reduce it's impact. The problem was that I had to pick a strange colour balance to differentiate the b/g from the subject.

Gotta think about this one, Rob. Very interesting shot but there's something about the tonality that just doesn't seem right. Shel [Original Message] From: Rob Studdert [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/IMGP8123.jpg

RE: PESO One Frank might relate to? :-)
A different sensibility wrt lighting and exposure is appropriate with BW. That's one of the reasons desaturating and manipulating color isn't always successful, and even less so and less frequently for those who have not shot and worked with BW.

Hi Rob, Before fiddling with it, just tell me if the sculpture is on green grass or otherwise. Thanks! BTW, is the chair and the fellow standing by it, at the top of the photo, part of the artwork?
