Hi, John. I love those gem carvings. Wonderful details. The artist really reveals the personality of each character in the carvings. I love that!

John, your post was well worth waiting for! The small art sculptures are amazing and so are your images of them. I can hear the old woman yelling at someone. Your orange reminded me of when I tried to do double exposures of my mandarin oranges. Thanks for joining in!

In reply to Tina Schell.I am working on another post this morning for future publication and I am still having issues with the media archive at Wordpress. I'm not sure what's going on, but it appears to be related to my browser. If I restart the browser, it seems to settle down and play right for awhile.

Photos were fine for me John – glad you were able to fix the issue. Of these, the orange was my favorite – looks close enough to taste!! I know what you mean about the glass in museums, they make it terribly difficult to get a good image. You did well! Those little sculptures look amazingly detailed.

In reply to Reflections of an Untidy Mind.I would have liked to base the entire post on the sculptures. I'd captured many more of them. Turned out the plexiglass coverings and auto-focus did their best to ruin most of the original images.Next time I visit the museum, I'll try a polarizing filter to see if that helps. :-)
