Every photograph is a 'lie', ...

"Every photograph is a lie, yet within that lie is a mountain of truth."  said by a famous photographer Bryan Peterson. In this post i'm sharing a photograph which is a lie, take a look at it.

I recently bought Photoshop Elements 12, and started playing with photos. Take a look at the left image below, this is an ancient solar clock shot in Jaipur Rajasthan and the image at right shot in our own garden city Bangalore. The sky above the clock is dull and no fun, so did little mixing and gave dramatic effect.

Which one you liked it?
