Challenge: Zodiac (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S602Z
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Date: Jan 21, 2004
Aperture: f 2.8
ISO: 160
Shutter: 4 sec.
Galleries: Architecture, Traditional Art
Date Uploaded: Jan 27, 2004

 The twin bronze lions sitting at the base of the Dingle Tower in Sir Sanford Fleming Park in Halifax. He was the inventor of standardized time. Go, Canada!

Shot taken at night with only light coming from high-level spotlights shining on the tower and statues from up and behind the camera. The sky had a slight orange cast from low level clouds diffusing local urban light pollution. Achieved red sky by playing with Selective Color. Also enhanced the tones in the sculptures using the same function.

These are beautifully rendered lions. Is this their real background? Is the background color actual or altered in post processing?

Weird skies/hue shifts never do well on dpc - but this is a good use of it - I like the lion in front. I can only assume he'd be different in the reg colors.

Sky color brings a very dramatic and powerful feel to this photo. Unuasual. - Well done!

Overall, I like it. Nice colors - interesting composition. It's a little hot in spots, and the shadow in the lower left is a tiny distraction.
