On the border of an illusion
A multiple-exposure photo of a mural combining three images with some restorative cloning. The lower portion of the front leg in the original mural was faded and damaged, so I used various elements of the image to restore the leg with a creative twist.
The addition of an oil paint filter helped to enhance the texture of the wall surface, as the original surface was quite bumpy and unappealing.
A tree in the foreground created the mottled shadows on the wall which merged well with the painted shadows of the mural itself. The filtered light, along with the micro-contrasting of the lens, also created an HDR feel to the photo.
