Millenium Mask

[Heather Peattie]

This is one of eight sculptured masks on poles which were put in place in 2000 to represent the towns which are twinned with Watford, Herts. I have been in the town on many occasions and never noticed them before!

It was taken a while ago with my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 and I did the conversion with P/S Elements to give an infrared look which I think made it much more dramatic.

Infrared conversion.

Love the B&W version the most, though both are good. The sky looks amazing in B&W, and somehow the character of the face is different, more thoughtful.

Another stunning shot Heather and a great choice for the conversion; it really does change the character of the image doesn't it?

The infrared sky goes so well with the metal (iron brass?) of the sculpture.

The infrared one is very cool.

Nice one Heather. Very dramatic is the B+W version great tones with deep blacks.

Thank you for all your comments. They are appreciated.

This was one that jumped out from the rest as the light was just right!
