Very dramatic, Craig! I guess you had Cannon’s noise suppression turned on, since you shot at ISO 1600. Red, white, blue – and a lot of hues in the yellow family. I love the soft orange from the lights placed very close to the blue sky in the windows. I also love that I can actually read the words! Very sharp detail thruout the image. This is one situation where horizontal centering works wonderfully well. I love this image, but my neck is actually feeling a virtual cramp from staring “up” at the ceiling for so long
Since this is the Rodin Gallery, I do hope you’ll post some images of his sculptures
How much work did you do on this image? I like it very much. As I looked at the amazing symmetry left & right it occurred to me that perhaps it was too perfect to have been done in camera. Looking further at the image in PS, I’m thinking the blue windows are identical (flipped)…. Or, is there another more interesting explanation?
Regardless, I love the symmetry with the different light on the ceiling and the two flags offsetting it.
Thank you for feedback!!! I really enjoyed going to your blog. There are many incredible images there. Birds and dogs are two of my favorite things in life. I don’t photograph birds but I love watching them and I also love bird photography and your bird pictures are exquisite. Here is a link to Jim’s blog

The Podcast for “Night at the Museum” will post the first part of next week and I will be answering your question in the Podcasts . Thank you again Jim for taking the time to post here. Its greatly appreciated!!!!….Craig
Craig: I am fascinated with the image especially in light of the fact it is a photo of the Rodin Gallery. In my view Rodin’s sculptures are visual symphonies. I have sat in front of a Rodin sculpture and become unaware of time. I think that there is a sculptural feeling to your image especially in the area behind the flags and in the shadow areas that captures some of same timelessness that your find in the Rodin work. The image holds my attention for a long period of time and as I move around and look deeper into the layers of the image I find more surprises.

I love wide angle shots and this one is particularly interesting. Now I wish I had the ability to see visual symphonies like David, but I do appreciate the well constructed symmetry. The flags appear to be flying in a weightless environment which is pretty cool.
Thanks.

Craig, terrific shot! Love your layed back (literally) POV, the symetry and lighting. The warmth and flag colors really bring me into your image. Beautiful work!
