Hi,
Have you seen those videos that are divided in 3 vertical parts and have the two lateral parts out of focus?
Well, in this image that idea comes in handy: I blur the sides to focus on the sculpture.

To know:

  1. I lighten a little the face of the sculpture.
  2. I use lut: CrispWarm at 90% intensity.

Thank you very much to all you guys for all those variants of image processing. I forgot to mention the lens model. It is a Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 this one is not in the lensfun database yet.

To crop a bit (as other did before) is a good idea to get more separation between sculpture and background, but is also loosing context (and I like it), and so I’ve tried to get the more I could without this. Just depends on what you’re looking after.

Also: I don’t know what’s the material of the sculpture, but in my head it’s like kind of grey stone, and so, I tried to mantain very desaturated colour for it.

Thanks for sharing this photo! I had several tries in order to be satisfied with colour balance.
This lens produces interesting spikes in the upper left corner :wink: - did you use it fully opened here?

The material is carrara marble. The place was founded in 1890. Now is the Foundation of the new Latin American Cinema.

Now I see.
Then, probably a somewhat warmer and lighter touch for the marble can be better option… Perhaps.

I tried to blur the background a bit using local adjustment, pushed the greens toward blue and saturated the oranges, then added some bloom in GIMP.

Just had a look: Maybe I’m not the artist-type of photographer, but so far I think the original captures the mood of a rainy day best. Agreed, my typical edits are very conservative, while “artists” prefer the more aggressive way.
