    Three Figures -- This time not an abstract!

    Ok.........we'll try it again.
    This time without the 'creativity' . I had to boost the saturation in the sky to get some kind of color, then used the colorize tool to match it. Still not perfect, but better than that other garbage I tried.

    Yes... the sky is a little surreal, but this is definitely more worth looking at...

    The only way I'm going to get this right is by going back under a blue sky with some puffy clouds, but right now I'll settle for surreal.

    much better.

    For a reshoot, you should consider HDR if you're into that sort of thing

    HDR looks good, but I don't have the software for it.

    I think what I would try is to zoom in on one of the heads and make it a portrait of a motorcycle driver. I find the one in the center very interesting. Bravo for trying something different and artistic.

    John,

    Try converting this to B&W with a white sky, I think it could work.

    Nicely composed, shame about the sky.

    Ah, now I see the detail.
    Rather reminiscent of decorations I'd expect on a Gaudi building.

    Short of a reshoot with sunlight and a blue sky, this is a good save !
