Wilma Tell

A busy day at work today has forced me to revert to a filler from an earlier shoot this month. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be Greek Goddess Artemis or not, but I thought framing her against the domed window would make a decent shot.
"Decent Shot" indeed! A little play on words, perhaps ;) Really, it's a lovely photo; where were you when you captured this one?

@Weezilou Very good picking up on the subtlety - this was taken at the Huntington Library (the Botanical Gardens one, not the Beach one).

haha...have you ever set foot in the HB library? yah...not so much!

very nice. I love statues like this, and that domed window is a gorgeous backdrop

Beautiful perspective Ron, framing against the domed spot on, lovely lighting and detail, pity you didn't get the broken pane of glass where her arrow went through, lol)

I hope Robbing Hood wasn't wearing his tights.

nice one

Creative title, smooth commentary, and nice composition. I was going to say something about her arrow likely breaking glass but I see Peter's mentioned it already. That's a beautiful blue sky that's draped over the dome.

Great perspective and super shot Ron!

I like the perspective as well, especially against the bright blue sky in the background!

It looks like she is aiming for the sky. Very nice.

The perspective on this is just perfect and the bright blue dome above just adds to it.

@Weezilou Surf City has a library? I think I know what most of the books cover.

@terryliv Neither of us were wearing pants!

@kauaikris Thanks, Kristina.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. I think she is such a good shot that the hole was imperceptible. ;-)

@francoise Thank you so much Francoise.

@lyndemc I do believe that this is the first time my commentary has ever been described as smooth. In fact it might be the only time that the word smooth has ever been used in conjunction with.....me! But I do appreciate your supportive and even-textured comments!

@marmaladeskyes Thanks, Tracy.

@cjphoto Thanks Chris - I expect to see your version, maybe with CJ before long. :-)

@888rachel Thanks Rachel, you may have been the only one who caught onto the angle. Straight-on she's not aiming in that direction at all, but at the angle I shot it at I manage to alter the perspective at bit. Thanks for noticing!

@clake Thanks, Caroline! You caught onto the perspective too! I appreciate it. ;-)

Купол служит прекрасным фоном...Отлично!
