Besigheim, DE City Plaza and Market Place

[Phelon Profile]

Hi,

Like to make my travel pictures as realistic as possible, but sometimes it's also fun to make them more grungy, moody, artistic, etc. I like to think of them as going in a book, album, catalog, slideshow, or printing to hang somewhere. First, I want my picture to look good, at least the best I can do with my experience at the time. After that it's on to see what I can create effectively to be enjoyed.

Here I stitched two images, straightened, corrected noise, increased or decreased colors, shadows, replaced the sky to help make it look presentable as a photo-realistic picture. Done mostly in SPE.

I think this is very good.My eye was taken from the statue down the square to see what he was looking at.

Hi rocman,

Thank you for your nice comment. I haven't found any information about that statue, but thanks for drawing my attention to it. The town hall there was built in 1479, and the cobble-stone market plaza several hundred years ago, too. Besigheim, Germany was established in the 12th century with a protective wall. Along came the French in the 1700's and destroyed most of it. It's now a nice historic town with lots of newer homes and parts of the old city with 2 medieval towers and old city plaza (as pictured).
