It DOES need to be seen on black. It's interesting to me that when you frame the entire image in black, the oval sculpture has a backlighting that is terrific. On white, for some reason, it doesn't come through. I like the symmetry in the shot and (on black) the lighting. Wonderful b&w! And yes, I do have to move out eventually!
Yunko, Taffy is right it is that much more wonderful on black...... it must be AWESOME having your photo buddy in the same house! I wouldn't let her go!
it's a great piece
