Centoaph - WIP

it’s that time of year again- gotta get ready for Dia de los Muertos, Halloween and International Talk Like a Pirate day, so I am a busy boy. got a deadline for a DDLM show coming up, so I need to get to work…

#1 focused

      the thing literally weighs a ton, you couldn’t do the whole “just a bit more to the left…”

I would have to disagree with you on this one Alex. Depending on the time of day, the clouds and the color of the sky this could be real.

#3 postworked

you know I can't resist doing a bit of postwork

what if I messed with the depth of field to get the cenotaph out of focus?

Yes, I think you should. DOF, farther away, and brings great focus to her.

#6 really out of focus

this is probably taking it too far

This one is too far. She should be all in focus. Makes me want to renew my glasses prescription.
