Not my Circus – Not my Monkeys (because my monkey’s fly!).
On a visit to Florida, we stopped at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. The museum was a great stop, but this Monkey really grabbed my eye. It was a statue that Ringling kept for visitors to leave their calling cards on the tray in his hands.
I had to work this photo, it was eerie and spooky in ways that I really wanted to bring out in the final image. I added a number of different textures in On1 Photo, and created a darker feel to the image bordering a horror meets steampunk feel.
