Rodin's Burghers of Canberra: Detail #1

Posted by Sidonie (Sydney, Australia) on 13 January 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Leave the path at the lake and enter the Sculpture Garden of the National Gallery of Australia, and you will stumble upon the burghers of Calais .... an incongruous sight among the scraggy eucalypts.

Detail #1 of burgher group: some greyscale conversion and tone curve adjustment.
