Shot taken with a Canon Rebel XTi - and reworked with Photoshop 7.0. Thanks to all who view and comment! I don't know the name of the artist who made this sculpture. (Sure it's a replica.) I can tell you that it's all bronze, it's about 5 ft high, and is in front of a cemetery in Liverpool, N.Y. This was merely an expieriment that I spent a good 2 hrs on for the lighting, sky, and color effects. I don't expect high marks but I did want to throw something powerful, and thought provoking out there. Thanks again.

I agree with Paul about the lighting & shadows. Love the green tones. Excellent work + faves!

This looks very much like the Pieta! I was so taken by the actual statue when I got to view it at the 1964 World's Fair.
I am taken with it now. The colorations and lighting are so highly dramatized and make the image quite thought provoking. Is this a stock image that you used, Jay?

NO STOCK CINDY - I took the actual shot and reworked it using Photoshop. I spent about 2 hrs on the lighting and coloring effects. I also added the sky from another one of my personal shots because it was very white. Thanks to everyone who stops by! Maybe I should edit the description.
