El Greco

A couple years ago in Madrid I saw a number of El Greco paintings and became intrigued with the idea of altering some of my photographs to mimic his style of elongated figures and his unique color palate. I noted that the shadows were green/cyan and the highlights were warm. In this image I applied those adjustments and elongated the figure as well.
