I know the colour original hardly set the world on fire yesterday but I thought I'd give this shot of the Little Mermaid a bit more impact with a mono conversion (oh, and a vignette, some de-focusing of the background and lastly but not leastly some texture enhancement with Topaz Adjust). From Wikipedia : "The statue of The Little Mermaid (Danish: Den lille havfrue) sits on a rock in the harbour of the capital of Denmark. Based on a tale by Hans Christian Andersen, the small and unimposing statue is a Copenhagen icon and a major tourist attraction. The statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of Carlsberg, who had been fascinated by a ballet about the fairytale in Copenhagen's Royal Theatre and asked the primaballerina, Ellen Price, to model for the statue. The sculptor Edvard Eriksen created the bronze statue, which was unveiled on 23 August 1913. The statue's head was modelled after Price, but as the ballerina did not agree to model in the nude, the sculptor's wife Eline Eriksen was used for the body. The relatively small size of the statue typically surprises tourists visiting Langelinie for the first time. The Little Mermaid statue is only 1.25 metres high and weighs around 175 kg."

From the regular viewpoint at Higher Harlech, overlooking Cardigan Bay, using Canon "ULTRASONIC" 28mm-135mm lens. Set at 28mm for this shot, with variations through the other 8 photos in this series. NO colour enhancements made, only slight reductions in lighting on a few shots, and /or cropping where needed to vary the compositions. Taken Friday 3rd Sept 2010 around 20:15hrs.
