I do like how your postprocessing has made this look like an illustration. A fascinating piece.

Yes I think it's almost like an illustration too. I didn't know about this artist, how creative and talented of her! I think you achieved the effect that you were after Rocky, very nice high-key effect, I don't see any blown out areas, you got some great details, and good light to show them. Nicely done, have a great weekend...big hugs..:) Lin

Hi Jan,
You're right, it's not relevant to this forum, which is probably why I always seem to have a problem putting my stuff into the right categories here.
The statue was chosen as a suggestion by the instructor but I do see your point. The work by the original artist is what comes through.
This is probably why I was very frustrated with getting so few shots that were worthwhile. I was looking to get something that was a unique angle or perspective of the artwork while trying to apply a hi-key or low-key exposure to it. This was not unlike the shots I did of the Frank Lloyd Wright spire... or, perhaps, any time someone is shooting architecture. The original work is what comes through but the photographer can choose a way to "see" it that may be unique.
In the end, it was probably a little over ambitious for me. I chose this shot because it was about as good as I could do with all the variables involved.
Thanks for the critique and kind comment.
~ Warm regards, Rocky

Rocky-- you are right. It does look like a sketch. Not sure if that was the desired outcome but it does have an appeal to it.
The one issue I have is only based on how you describe the assignment - not really relevent to this forum - I do not see this as a mood evoking photo. In fact, not sure how a still life of someone elses' art would do that, other than the intrinsic mood of the orginal piece.
--Best regards, Jan
