[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another photo from the Rodin Museum, a marvelous place, a photographer's paradise. This gentleman was looking at one of Rodin's marble studies for a larger piece, with a fantastic view of Paris buildings behind him.

This image appeals to me for the original tonality that I saw in the camera, but it was a difficult photo to get to work on all the various monitors and OS that I have available. On one it was murky, on another had no contrast, so I'm posting a "happy medium" and hope that most people will see what I saw, solid sculpture and man inside, fantasy landscape outside.

Details later, I don't have them on this computer.

Composition is as it should be. Subject is an interesting one. Technically, from this screen, low contrast and, again, needs to be sharper. The scene outside is somewhat blown away and perhaps there should have been a compromise exposure OR a different POV so as to not include the window.
Still, as a presentation, it appeals and the M.J. considered at length and came up with a 6.88/10 - all due to the aforementioned.
Personally, I would have made it a full 7 but I notice that you have dropped the sig.
Still qualifies for the only option of ...

You have done well Lois. IMHO any adjustments of light and colours would have destroyed your objective. Wonderful image, lovely soft colours and great perspective. TFS

PS Many thanks for your comment on Duck Reach Way Out

This picture grows on you. At first I thought the color and contrast should be pumped up, but after reading your notes, I've pretty much changed my mind. You've captured the "feel" of the museum and the viewer deep in contemplation. A very subtle, sophisticated shot.
