Contemplation

1/250s @ 4.0, ISO 250. (People)
Taken in a gallery in Chicago this past weekend. Believe it or not, this is a sculpture sitting in front of a window. She is so life-like that when I first saw her from the outside, I thought she was a type of artistic mime. Apparently she has fooled a lot of people!

I never would have guessed Chicago. This is one of those shots that tear one's stomach apart. Don't know how you were able to shoot it unobserved. Does NOT look posed. #1395239Rona L. Schwarz July 23, 2011
Well, she WAS posed, and in fact she is not real! I initially left off the full description since she fooled members in my BP Club when I first posted her there and who were confused by the original title, "Is it Real or is it Memorex?". Bad judgment on my part and I apologize. (Well, it was 1:30 a.m.!) #9549174Carol L. Fowler July 23, 2011

This is an AMAZING image, Rona! I had to look closer to see that it's a statue. Incredible!! Fabulous b/w conversion, details, tones and lighting. Superb! Deb #9560536Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
