GH4: Heavy PP'd image. Comments?
3

Normally, I try to shoot for minimum PP in my images.  Call me old school, but I like my images to come OOC as close to what I saw as possible.  However, during a viewing of the Madonna and Child statue in Our Lady church in Brugge, Belgium I just could not reconcile my image with what I saw (or wanted to see)  May be complicated by the statue being behind glass.

So I spent quite a bit of time in Capture One, using various tools to darken the background, lighten and enhance the statue itself, and crop to size.  I have posted both images below, the as shot (converted from RAW) to my heavy PP'd version.  To me, this looks a lot better.  But I would like comments on your take, especially anything else you would have done.

Your comments are appreciated.
