gabryshak replied
thanks jacky… i forgot that rb has a filter on upload that brightens the contrast a bit… seems like it added noise to the sky some… i’ll have to re-upload without a highpass and see if that helps…

UnEasy
Timeless, this walk of faith, stretching back beyond Soren K., the leap of faith, over the abyss of disbelief. “But I don’t have faith”. “Act as if you do, and pray”. But I don’t believe in prayer.” “Say the words anyhow”. This image speaks as powerfully to those with faith as it does to those without faith. Beautifully, imaginatively rendered. All the features are richly deserved.
gabryshak replied
reading your reaction was truly as beautiful as seeing my vision come into creation through this piece… thank you for enriching me through sharing your thoughts
