Eros Bendato, City Garden - HDR Series


This huge bronze head by Igor Mitoraj is a real show stopper.  This single image tone mapped HDR was created in Nik HDR Efex using the Turquoise Night preset as a starting point.  I used Photoshop to take out a couple of cars and parking meters and actually toned down some colors in Lightroom.


Monochrome created in Nik Silver Efex Pro using a green filter and sepia/blue split tone.


The solarized version comes from Nik Color Efex Pro.  I like this effect - definitely creepy.
