The Little Mermaid as she REALLY was!
It was a dismal, rainy, windy morning. The little mermaid
was besieged by tourists, some actually climbing up on the rock where she
sat. It was kind of sad. We had all of 10 minutes to stop and
gawk. I snapped a quick picture, knowing I'd be disappointed in the
results, but desiring a record of my having actually been there.
After transferring the image to CD, I decided to re-make the image in a
fashion more representative of my photographic skills. That's what
you saw on the previous page. Here's the original before I tackled
the problem, using Adobe Photoshop 5.5. At least I didn't splice
a windmill into the background!
