Gilt armour of Charles I, about 1612

Found another one from London trip that turned out the way I envisioned it. From the armour exhibit in the White Tower, from the day at the Tower of London. I thought of "deleting" the reflection of my own hand in the glass, but ended up liking it for some reason. I guess that makes it "my" photo for me as opposed to something out of a tourist catalogue.

I like this close crop - makes is much more interesting. So many times I have taken museum photos that I end up deleting!

Wonderful dof, I like the detail on the armour.

Oh! Fantastic photo Vera! So, it's funny but I hadn't seen the reflection of your hand at all until reading your commentary. But now that I see it, I too like it a lot - not only is it your own shot, but it looks like a feminine ghostly figure putting her hand on his mouth as if to say 'hush'! :)

Love all of the tiny details you captured in the armor. I completely missed your hand reflection until I read your description.

Wonderful the detail on the subject. Love how the arc of the brightest reflections in the background follows his profile.

I really like how this stands out from the complimentary background. Super.

[Nick]

Really great. I really like all the detail in the metal.

[Bob Zwolinsky]

I enjoy the way you have used the background to add impact to your image. The Tower of London is a place I rarely visit, simply because it is always busy with tourists, so your image has made me think I should go in the near future.

Very cool

Great shot of the armour and the reflection is so subtle it doesn't distract at all - like you say it makes it your photo. Good choice to leave it in I think
