Challenge 505: The procession
I photographed this church procession in a back street in Cambridge. I have no idea who they were, or why they were in such an incongruous location.

Can you move them to a more appropriate setting?

High res is here.

Achmed recanted on his deathbed that he was always a Christian, but wished to have his funeral at his local Mosque; however, the "locals" have heard about this service and are outraged, and a riot ensued.

Faith can work miracles! Seems these folks devotion has worked a minor miracle on the on the cloister they are walking through!

Maybe it's just me ..... but this was quite a sadistic little exercise in extraction Steve.

They're determined to get it right this time.



This one is very weird. I'm so relieved.

Re: Challenge 505: The procession
I am feeling a little hesitant to poke fun at the Catholic Church at the moment After working a temporary assignment with the Jesuits at their California regional center and rest home for aged Jesuit priests and brothers for the past 2 1/2 weeks. However, I would like to note that my Websters Collegiate Dictionary gives a second definition of Jesuit as "one given to intrigue or equivocation" so perhaps my entry is entirely appropriate. Might I inquire if the original photo was taken April 18th this year?

-Sara

Father Dunphrey had no idea why the tourists were so out of hand this year.

Re: Challenge 505: The procession
Ben, I also really like your image!

I am thinking you used Photoshop CC, CS6 >Filter> Oil Paint
or
Photoshop CS5, CS4 >Filter> Pixel Bender>Oil Paint
Adobe Pixel Bender is still available for download http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html

I recently upgraded from CS5 and caved into Adobe’s new lease only CC.
I really miss Adobe’s Pixel Bender!!! Fun to play with.
With CC, only the filter “Oil Paint” is an official feature.
