These are statues on the tomb of Pope Pius VIII, in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Pius VIII in the lower center beneath an enthroned Christ, and flanked by Saints' Peter and Paul. The original image was taken by a friend of mine, Andrew Fuehrer, who recently returned from a trip to Italy. He was kind enough to allow me to manipulate the image into it's final version, shown here. Manipulation done in photoshop CS3 using texture and layer adjustments to tone and levels along with selective leveling to individual areas of intense highlight clipping in an attempt to preserve detail. I had just enough resolution to pull it off, and I'm happy with the result. I hope you like it. The lower res version is posted here, I have the full res, 5 meg file available for prints.Peace,
Joe
