Ebony
by Marcus

Cary, NC

This is the head of a small hand carved ebony statuette
my parents keep on their mantle. I've always liked this figure,
and would have shot the whole thing, but I liked the way
the closeup brought out the grain and cut marks.

Marcus, I like the colors and lighting here...well composed with good DOF too. I like the choice of crop ...and the good sense of texture. Nice subject and capture. MFC

Beautiful shot - I love the color and grain of the wooden sculpture, and the color of the background!

Now, this is cool! I like the lighting that allows the grain of the wood to show through. Can you tell us anything about this sculpture?---Deb
