photoblog image Ice Sculpture Skull

Ice Sculpture Skull

Shot at the same ice sculpture festival as in this and this image. It's really amazing what they all can make in ice.


TECH-INFO: 107 mm is the 35mm equivalent focal length. I made some improvements using adjustment layers. The background is darkened. The skull got a contrast boost using curves. I used dodging and burning techniques to give the image a bit more depth: the "eyes" and "nose" are a bit darker, some parts of the cheeks, forehead and the thumb are made slightly brighter. I used the built-in flash of the camera.
