The Muses
by SarahD

Los Angeles, California

Taken at the Los Angeles museum of Natural History. Trying to get a different angle, lying on my back on the floor with my head pressed up against the base of the statue...I got some strange looks. Amazing it's as sharp as it is, because exposure was somewhere around 1/15 I think. Actually a composite of sorts because the stained glass window was totally blown out in the original, I had taken a separate photo of just the window, which I cloned in on top of it.

Really like the colors and angle on this shot. Comforting to know there are others getting strange looks while trying to get that perfect shot. Ha!ha!ha!

Wonderful effect Sarah. The statues look almost as though they were made of velvet. And the overall orange color is great. Ann C
