Description

f/2.8, 3 Seconds, Macro-mode, ISO64, Tungsten, Aperture Priority, -1.3ev
Details from the wrought iron gate leading into Children's Chapel at Washington National Cathedral;
the "clover leaf" forms feature animal heads, real and imagined. I really like the shadows cast on the limestone.
