And here is a PS-tricked color version. The background was simply so ugly with a huge trash container that I have decided to use the ocean ripple effect. The somewhat strange monument commemorates the 1956 anticommunist revolution in Hungary.
Thanks for your comment, Ina. With the title I intended to be ambiguous: she is under the spell of the book, but at the same time the statue, especially the insect can also excercise an influence... Cheers, Gy.
Very interesting effect, Gyorgy, here we see the entire statue, so the focus is more on the monument, and the lady seems so absorbed in the book, nothing of that struggle seems to perturb her reading! Regards, Ina
