Face of David by Michelangelo Florence Italy Black and White Canvas Print

A detailed close up of the face of the world famous,early 16th century statue of David by Michelangelo Buonarroti. This replica is situated in Piazza della Signoria, in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, this is where the original sculpture which was relocated to the Galleria dell'Accademia in 1873, once stood. I hand blended a variety of textures with my original photograph in black and white to compliment the old world feel of this classic Florentine image.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
