Post-Processing: But NOT for wading in the river! The sculptor leaves his boots on the shore while he goes about constructing another rock sculpture.

Cropped, reduced blue & green levels, increased saturation, re-sized.

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" is a pop song composed by Lee Hazlewood and first recorded by Nancy Sinatra.		       Extra Info: These rock sculptures were first created by John Felice Ceprano in 1966. The fossilized rocks are 325 million years old. When the river freezes over, they are 'dismantled by winter' to quote the sculptor, so the building starts anew each spring.

Aug 23, 2009		     ThingFish - Thank you for the comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the information. This guy builds a great many of these and I wish I could have taken a better photo that included more of the sculptures. He doesn't get paid for doing this but people seem to appreciate his art.
rafinmenb - I agree - It's not what I tried for. I was using my new Olympus underwater camera to try to get used to it before my vacation. Trying to see what is on the little LCD monitor is the bright sun is an exercise in frustration.
Jade O - I love leather boots - army background I guess:-) I agree with your other comments. The guy is the sculptor and he is hauling that big rock around to make another sculpture. All work and no pay :-)

Aug 23, 2009		     Nice pair of boots. They sure look like they are made for walking so they fit the song title and lyrics very well. I happen to know the song by the way. I remember hearing it on the radio often sung by Nancy Sinatra when I was a kid.
Interesting image, even more so because of the interesting information supplied.

Aug 22, 2009		     I get where you are coming from. I do not think you have pulled it off. In teh end the various bits do not pull together. The sculptures for example look confused and on top of each other. Not as sharp as it could be.

Aug 21, 2009		     Sorry, I just don't like boots as a subject. And I find the background distracting, and the rocks, as interesting as they are, a competing subject for the boots, and what is the guy in the background doing, and...Just too many competing elements for me.
