Low key passion
This is a photo of a statue raising a cross-hilted dagger near the Philadelphia, PA art institute. It was beginning to rain, so I didn't get to see the artist. Because it was a gray fall day I opted for a low-key image that is ambiguous but passionate. "The same place, the other photographer" group invites us to think about compositional choices. Flickr user dcsaint pictured the statue in the context of the museum grounds on a spring day:

How this was made: Three frames separated by 1 EV were taken but the sky was overexposed, coming out flat and uninteresting in all of them. I took one color layer from each and combined them into this image - effectively making the blue layer +1 EV, green +0 EV, and red -1 EV. This is a blue filtered contre-jour, if you prefer.
