Pieta, Michaelangelo
My apologies right off the bat to those of you who are art purists. I have indeed altered this photo of a perfect work of art, but not without good reason. The photo was taken holding the camera up over the tops of hundreds of heads with a telephoto lens and through a bullet-proof barrier. Since it was slightly blurry, I felt free to play a bit with it and add a water-color type of finish.
There are hundreds of statues from that time period, but when one compares them to the likes of Michaelangelo's Pieta, one can then understand why his work is so revered.
