This shot was taken outside of a museum after a thunderstorm. It might seem unbelievable, but not much post-processing occured here...Just a few filters and airbrushing/erasing.

Thoughts?

You have all the dramatic effect that you can hoped for

cheers

Thanks.

I'm not sure about certain aspects of the shot, so, I'm waiting on some more feedback.

Anyone else?

Very dramatic. I like it artistically, if not viscerally! Rather foreboding.

were those the inspiration for the Segway? I like the feel of the pic... gritty, dark, surreal. not sure I like the angle though. on the one hand it gives the image a sense of motion, but on the other, I'm not sure it's necessary given the dynamic background and their poses. what kind of museum is this? museum of marvel

I find these sculptures rather unpleasant. They are too bombastic. It reminds me of the Soviet-era "epic worker" theme.

I'm sorry. I forgot to bring tissues.

Very errie. I am expecting them to come to life or have some gargoles suddenly appear.

Can't help but be reminded of Johnny Hart's "B.C." comic strip.

These three could take a big hint.

That what pictures are suppose to do.. tell a story and this one does. Everytime I look at it I get a different thought. Well done! JIMBO

daacon- yes they are eerie, and that's exactly the emotion/feel I was going for. The storm came in at the perfect time!

Mike Cash- very cool!.

Jimbo- I was unsure of that posts purpose as well. I've learned though that photography is way to subjective.
