[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the Egyptian Room of the British Museum, this woman was intently reading her book about the treasures displayed around her. The labels on the exhibits weren't informative enough for her and she was determined not to miss anything.

Exposure Mode Auto; Exposure Program Normal; ISO 1600; Focal Length 28 mm; Focal Length in 35mm Film 42 mm; cropped slightly to remove distraction and framed.

Another interesting museum shot, Lois. I like her very concentrated expression and also the man walking between the two giant statues. Nicely composed. Well done!

Agreed with our little Belgian hero. The scene is lovely enough as it is but the man striding through the background lifts this a couple of levels. Imagine this without him!
Lovely light. Great crop. Perfect frame. Nice hat.
No points for you, no points for me. 10 points for the man in the back, who will give them to you if you stop him and ask nicely.

Hi Lois, nice warm colours that I like in this kind of shots, as Kit says, guy at the background provided a good dynamic feeling..

Lois, great shot, this is a very enjoyable image! I love Egyptian monuments, and love the placement on the folks in this image.
Nicely done, and well timed! TFS, Sam :0)

I love museums and antient stuff. OK, I give no points as you wish, but I have to tell you that its a great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lois...
Another WMBS... (Wonderful Moment and Beautiful Shot), my friend... The soft light and pastel colors are perfect... Also perfect POV and composition...
TFS...

I like your museum photos!
And how about naking a theme of them?!
I see that the aunt lost her red hat!
The man in the background came in the right moment!
