Wonder World Prospector

While we were in Wimberley, Texas last week we made a side trip to Wonder World in San Marcos. Today's photo is of a near life-sized statue of a prospector they have in the gift shop!

Camera: Canon 40D
Lens: Canon 17-55mm, f/2.8
Post-processing: Photoshop CS3 > I masked off the prospector and used Blur - Lens Blur about 5 times to blur the background > Levels adjustment to set the black and white points

I'm a sucker for gift store art. Can't imagine why people overlook the things. Odd how we'll photograph monuments and massive sculpture yet leave these cultural icons alone. This is a wonderful capture and it'd be cool to see him show up in something you do in the future, he could make a great character in a story image.
