Scenario One
A beautiful winter morning, snowflakes drifting from the sky as the ethereal dawn light bleeds turquoise through the heavens.
The Cathedral stands tall and proud; illuminated by heavenly choirs, or perhaps just the spotlights at its sandstone foundation.
Scenario Two
Bitter winds whip around the shoulders of this looming behemoth. Slushy snow spitting from the heavens, raining ice on the Anglican cathedral and my upturned face.
The bone-white sky a flat expressionless martyr, waiting for the bell to toll. The dark sandstone Cathedral grinds as stones settle and metal warps... in the cold.
Ha ha, I'm just having a little fun here with poetic descriptions of the two images above. I decided to write these two descriptions to show how differently the two versions of the picture inspired me as a creative writer.
I am fairly new to photography and especially to editing software/apps. I was unaware until now how far you could change an image and the implications on the perspective in which it will be viewed.
The question is: which of them has been doctored?
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Thanks for reading 🙂
