Photos like this make it evidently clear why you have deserved to win these challenges so often (and makes the rest of us feel like second rate hacks, lol!). Wonderful in every way...~Nee

You really captured the quality of the marble Mike. Really gives a creamy feeling to the sculpture. Ann

Thanks, Ro and Deb. I wasn't allowed to use a tripod...so I "reclined" on the floor and used my camera bag to help prop/support the camera while I took the pic. MFC

The delicacy and yet clarity of this are very attractive. Can't stop looking at it. Did you use a tripod? Those creamy, curvy whites against the darker graphite diagonals of the architecture really works for me. Good one! - Ro

Nice capture! The sharpness of the image actually brings out the softness of the sculpture.
