    Mikhail,

     

    Then you might know the tiger as well. She has cubs now and I was photographing the cubs when I suddenly realized that she was staring at me with this amazing look!

    Thank you all for comments!

    Le Puy-en-Velay really exist and it is so remarkable a place that I kept asking myself this the whole day I was there. There is also another huge statue facing this one on the other side of town as well as a huge cliff in the middle of the city with a little chapel on top. I will post more later. One photo of this place was so remarkable I drove over 300 miles south of Paris just to see it. I did not make any changes to the structures but I did change the sky since the position of the cloud was just too perfect a match.

     

    Peter,

     

    you are completely right, the light was from the side on the original while it should have been backlit. Photo was taken near the sunset too and had strong shadows. I erased all frontlighting, the most obvious side shadows and darkened the area the would be in shadow from the the castle and the rock. I had created some chimney shadows as well. I stoped at that point since removing all side lights appeared to make a picture quite blank and dark. I am posting the version before any shadow correction, you can see how much more wrong it looks.

     

    Best regards, Marianna

    Harry, this is a composite image, the bear is from Washington, D.C. zoo

    and the snow is Mt. Baker glacier. The bear came very close and walked past me posing so it was too perfect picture to waste (obviously too Zoo otherwise). I liked the diagonal line of the glacier photo. By the way, it is a bone under his paw, I kept it from the original. I would like to say that your

    photos of the bears, both wild and captive are remakable and very inspiring.

    Thank you, Zoran!

     

    Yes, it is Place De La Concorde. Only one of the fountains

    was working. It would have been nice to get a photo of the other one too.
