Description: This is from the Pompidou, where Brooke and I went on July 4th during our week-long stay in Paris. I have a 16"x20" print of this photograph in my office, and people occaisionally think some or all of it is rendered. It's an instant hit with computer graphics people because it remind of us of certain parental figures. I'm surprised the recent MoMA exhibition doesn't have a similiar piece.
Post-production: Although I like how this image looks when stylized, I merely lowered the yellow levels, although not as much as running Auto Curves would; I like how warm it is. I played around with darkening the edges, but I think considering the unreality of the subject matter, it's best to leave the picture very natural.
