Very Nice Penny. I like the details.

I do think this one looks better, Penny. The additional contrast gives it more "pop," and the metallic sheen on the pipes is especially nice. I love your description of how you stabilized the camera...sounds like something I've done. In fact, I'll often put a hat or glove or some other soft item under the camera to cushion the vibration from the shutter. Isn't it amazing that you can get such a bright shot inside a fairly dark place? --Mary Anne

This is great Penny, such terrific contrasts, patterns and colours. Really nice ~ Regards Melbob

thanks Pops and alexeig for the comments. Mary Anne, I appreciate the honest critique and have switched this for the same image but with slightly different processing. I think it's better - hope you like it. This was not exactly hand held because I angled the camera on top of a hymnal atop the organ console and used the timer. (You're right, I don't carry a tripod around with me although I have been known to use one.) It was dark in the church so I went with the high ISO. Penny Street

Great geometry and wooden palette

I never expected this to be one of yours, Penny. You're full of surprises! The geometry is very nice, but the image seems a bit soft. Was this hand-held? I suspect you're not much for carrying around a tripod and were pushing the IS to its limits. --Mary Anne
