The couple were resting but didn&#8217;t seem to be communicating and I wanted to capture that feeling in my image.<\/p>\n<p>The image went through several versions as I developed it but, although it was a long process as I struggled to get the look I wanted, the basic method was to crop the original to a square format and to add two textures to the image: an image of a shattered toughened glass window and one of a leafless vine climbing up a wall in Paris. The filters used were Nik Midnight, Glamour Glow, White Neutraliser, Viveza and Darken\/ Lighten Centre. Photoshop filters were Clone, Paint and Curves.\u00a0 The final sharpening was made using the Photoshop High Pass filter<\/p>\n<p>Although it may seem complicated, this was more to do with the tortuous route I took in getting from the start to the finished image. If I did it again, I suspect that the process would be much simpler. I learned a lot on the way, though, which is always a great bonus.<\/p>\n<p>This image was accepted for the Royal Photographic Society International Images for Screen Exhibition 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon D700, 28-300mm Nikkor lens at 125mm, ISO 720, f\/11, 1\/250 sec<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-427\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Private-Thoughts-Original.jpg\" alt=\"Private-Thoughts-Original\" width=\"500\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Private-Thoughts-Original.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Private-Thoughts-Original-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This shot was taken outside the Colosseum in Rome, in the summer of 2012.
