Disappointed

I was so excited to revisit Chatsworth House to view this beautiful marble sculpture. I couldn't wait to see the details of her veil and features.

Imagine my disappointment to find her in an alcove, backlit by bright daylight, difficult for the eye to discern her features, never mind a camera.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond au contraire. I think this is a remarkable image. Many of the features still readily discernible. Beautifully composed Jackie.

Obviously photographers did not select her spot. Too bad you can’t shut the curtains. I do like the symmetry of the shot.

Too bad but you mad the best of a difficult photography situation.
