Rain Gargoyle

Posted under Architecture, Color, Critiqued

Rain GargoyleSometimes we have an image that we like but it just isn’t right somehow.  It could use something extra to make it different, more interpretive.  So we turn to filters, both on camera and on the computer.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.

The photograph presented here was filtered on the computer to give an affect of rain on a window.  I like the placement of the primary subject off to the right looking onto the city below.  You will note that the horizon is about one third from the top of the layout.  The bulk of the image is in hues of brown and tan giving a nice muted effect.

There is one thing that concerns me about this photograph.  I feel the filter went a little too much over the top.  There is too much softness in the scene.  Perhaps if the gargoyle was a little sharper and the city was the same blur there would be more feeling of depth and less of a filter effect.  This could be done by selecting the gargoyle and applying the filters twice at different intensities.
