It was exactly that kind of smile that the statue caused to me, Visar! ;-)
The sculpture is only white. And as always I don't post-process. I manipulate the look by camera/lens, as well as I can. I know now a bit more about the possible reasons for such tints on film images. It is immediately connected to the responce of film to the three main colors. I attached such a chart for Dave but I re-attach it for you too. See the stronger responce to blue and the growing distance to the other colors as the exposure value grows?
Now, in order to control exposure and get whatever tint one wishes, such charts must be present for as many films and exposures as possible. I search still for some good collection iof them in the web, but I only find some few of them here, some few of them there. That is, I have some few pieces of the puzzle but still not enough for the "whole picture" of the situation.
Cheers!
Nick

hahhhaha-- great title, Nick!
ok ok, maybe not just in front of any sculptor who despite of having pants on, he/ she takes a short cut to that- makes it more natural!! ;)
anyway, Nick, this blue tint seems to have spread throughout the canvas- somewhere less somewhere more emphasised- and so have made a 'homogenous melting' in all the elements!
(hypothetically speaking:)) i think the sculpture is made of (white?) marble and so is the wall in the background- but the texture in blue (more stressed in te sculpture) is a lucky accident here, for it helps in the definition! or maybe you postprocessed it!!
cheers,
v.

Thanks a lot Jacques!
I try to get a systematic idea about when and how that blueish tint appears with each and every film. I like such result evry much, but unfortunately I am not already able to reproduce them at will.
Cheers!

Well Aziz... if you are the boy and the sculptor sees you and marbles the statue with your hands on the, errrm, "interesting part" of the girl, then I would rather advice you to look for some other place.
Or else your hands will be there for everybody to see and smile for a long time. :-D (Shame mode on!! ;-))
Cheers!
Nick
P.S.: The sculptor had real knowledge of men, it seems to me. He knew what guys like to feel in their hands, ey? ;-)
P.P.S.: Look also at the dedication with which she kisses him, and how "elegant" he stands there... like after having swallowed a club! ;-)

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and the info, Dave!
I am looking for the characteristic curves of the films I use (see example attachment) in order to understand that completely, but you are right. It does have to do with the light conditions, in the sense that for each light condition the characteristic density as a function of exposure exhibits a different behavior for the three main colors.
As we can see for the attached example of Kodak HD 200, the difference of density of blue to green and red gets larger with growing exposure. Since this is the diagram for light conditions of normal daylight (1/125s) it means that the ratio of density of blue to the other colors is expected to get larger by overexposing. (Higher values of exposure in the horizontal axis.) So a blueish tint is to be expected by overexposure in this case.
By having all those diagrams for different light conditions one can predict if it will be over- or underexposure that will introduce some specific tint. But unfortunately I still didn't find some site with a rich collection of such diagrams. I keep on searching, somebody must have them.
Anybody out there has perhaps already found such a site?
Cheers!
Nick

Good capture of this unusual sculpture, Nick! Perhaps the time of day has something to do with the quality of the light, and the either more or less blue tint. I know evening usually has a blue tint under overcast skies, especially in the snow.
Dave.
