Gilded angel

One of those better on large view ones if you have a moment. Thank you.
Lester and I went into the cathedral while we were at St.Albans on Saturday.
This candle holder in, I think, St.Mary's chapel in the cathedral caught my eye. It's gilded with paint but also with some spotlighting which emitted an orangey light. As an idea of what the light was like, the candle itself is a typical, cream-coloured, church candle

Lovely composition. I really also love the candle. On close up its really beautiful. You have really showed all the detail on the statue, not always easy in church light.

I love this on several counts - the subject, the composition, those beautiful tones - fave.

Fantastic capture. Great light. Very nice composition.

[Lisa Stein]

Gorgeous light and composition. Wonderful find and capture!

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice shot Alison., excellent pov and lighting.

[Kazzy]

Gorgeous shot. The spot lighting makes this look like it is gleaming from a sunset rather then mid arvo. The wings look amazing.

[Jean Tookey]

A beautiful composition with lovely lighting. I have not seen the angel on my visits to St Albans so it is something to look for.

[Matt Clendon]

Very nice carving and the light has a gentle softness to it. It must be even more striking when the candles are lit and the wings glimmer.

Love how the light is falling across the statue,a lovely capture!!

[Cindy Hagan]

Beautiful light and you've captured it very well!

[Al Bailey]

[Linda]

Nice shot. Good focus and detail.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Fabulous shot! Love the shades of golden ivory.

Like this. Personally I would have not put it on the third. I would like to see this as a vertical letterbox crop. Then the boring rhside of the shot would have not drawn the eye. The statue is lovely and the light is beautiful.

I like the light on the wing.

[John Falconer]

Great shot
