Painted Illusion - created by nellista

High Resolution

final rank: 1 out of 32 (final score: 57.2 %)

This is a photo I took in the streets of Quebec.
What you see in the image is actually a huge back wall of a building that has been painted to create a 3d live effect. I was struck by the credibility of the painting!
The photo was taken by me with a Canon PowerShot SD700 IS.
As it was a cloudy day...the initial photo was a bit too dark.
Therefore I had to make some adjustment, as level and brightness and contrast. I also sharpened the image slightly and added a bit of gaussian blur with an overlay blending mode.
