NEAR MY HOME

This images belongs to the cycle of NEAR MY HOME.

This is fragments of Strossmayer cathedral in my town Djakovo in Croatia (Đakovo). I process the photo in Photoshop. You can see the spots, but the photo is good quality, that is damage of war in 1991. Strossmayer cathedral is world famous, rich with ornaments on the facade, especially in the interior with frescoes and ornaments. It was built in the period 1866.-1882. in Neo-Gothic style.

In Photoshop, I changed the colors, I gave a dose of fluidity. With brushes I "build" a new brick facade on some places. I treated symbolically traces of the time that the weather and the shrapnel left from the war.

I signing the photo discrete in the corner. Photo is professionally printed on high quality semi glossy photo paper. I prefer semi-gloss photo paper because I do not like totally brilliant reflection. Semi-gloss photo paper presents better my style.
