17.6.09 - Caught in the spotlight

This is another shot from Tuesday night, but I was still working on it last night. The guy was walking his dog, and I suddenly realised that he was going to go through the glare from the floodlights. I was disappointed with the original, because I didn't have chance to set it up properly and there was some camera shake. I decided to go with an artistic feel rather than a natural one and I hope this works. I used the watercolour filter in Elements on top of a B&W conversion and a simple frame.

Thanks for the wonderful comments on yesterday's Cathedral shot, it is one of my favourite views and I never tire of it. This was taken at the opposite end of the Cathedral, where the lawns and trees create a very different atmosphere.
