Photographers Note:
I think this image could be quite powerful with a little work. It's a sculpture on a church just near the city center of Pécs, Hungary. I took the shot one evening when I wasn't fixing websites, and was out enjoying myself with my camera.

Interested to see what post production ideas others have...

Straightened, cropped, cloned out the 'thing' on the left, selectively lightened, sharpened.

A bit more room at the top in the original capture would have been nice.

How about "Bondage Mary" for a title?  ;o)

Well, there's that little numbering problem of which I spoke earlier....

I backed out of Jeber, opened my image browser, opened the Jeber Workshop folder, found the correct number, copied it down on a scrap of paper, minimized my browser, upsized Jeber and loaded this one.  (Wonder if I got it right.)

Naming this "Image 70_102" would help a lot.

I really want a discussion about the Reply system.  I could not see your note prior to posting.  And I can't see the EXIF while posting.  And I can't see all the discussion while posting.  And I can't see both versions while posting.

(Not a very happy puppy here.  ;o)

I think there's a very simple fix.  Just include a pop-up reply box for every page.  And make it possible to drag the box around the page so that it's possible to check EXIF/whatever.

That way I could be looking at OP and 'Re-edit X' and all the discussion while I type.  

(And make the reply box small as reasonably possible - trim away much of the gray.)

If you click on my 'Functional Sculpture' image in the Beta Workshop you will see no note.  So the first reply might well be "What's this?".

Which is answered in the note.

Had a play with this image myself - need to test uploads anyway. Cropped, straightened (using guidelines in Fireworks) and auto levels on the colours.

This is a big improvement over the original (IMHO). I'd consider getting rid of the black edges or making them a bit wider.  Did you try some selective sharpening on the facial details?

And this new Reply system is a jewel.  I can look back and see the flow of what went before as I type.  Thanks muchly!
