A truly unique room even by Venetian standards! Some 130 sculptures from antiquity once graced the room, in the mid-1500's. Today only 1 piece has been returned, the hanging sculpture of the Abduction of Ganymede. Captured using 3 lens-shifted exposures from a 17mm t/s lens set on the floor.

Absolurely Spectacular detail, light, & find. This is special, & will be seen again! #1679822Joanna Kovalcsik February 18, 2017
Christopher, your framing is exquisitely done... a remarkable capture with amplified detail seen in B&W. :o) #11563483Chris Budny February 19, 2017
Thank you both, Harvey & Joanna! You can't tell in this perspective straight up, but the 4 sides of the coffered ceiling are actually all curved inward towards the top, like a dome curves, but a 4-sided dome, instead of spherical, if that makes sense. Clever optics at play in the design, for sure! #11563831Joanna Kovalcsik February 19, 2017
Yes, Chris, I can picture it in my mind. Two of my favorite details in this image are the arched window and its bright reflections and the angel at the pinnacle of the "dome." #11563838Amanda D. Austwick March 10, 2017
Beautiful dome capture Chris! #11570374Chris Budny March 10, 2017

Amazing depth, Chris. #11576047Usman M. Bajwa March 28, 2017
Well executed and detailed, looks great in B&W. One of your finest works IMHO, Chris. Good luck, not that you need it ;) #11576092Chris Budny March 28, 2017
