I thought exactly the same, the water waves are frozen in time and some of
the silhouettes seem to me as a bit too big for the image perspective and
how deep into the picture they are situated. So it seems there has been
some digital manipulation. BTW, NOTHING WRONG, IMO, WITH ANY OF THAT.

Now, I am not quite sure the author claims the Baths series were made with
a pinhole camera, she says: "The Széchenyi Baths in wintertime. Subject for
a pinhole project. I chose a more or less conventional camera due to
material conditions". It could be that she thinks this is a good subject
for a pinhole project but in this case she chose a more or less conventional
camera (glass lens) to do the project.

In any case, the stuff is Xcellent.
