[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Just back from a short trip to Burgundy where I could appreciate the exceptional cultural and gastronomical patrimony.
One of my favorites was this small medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois with this magnificent "Mise au tombeau du Christ" carved in 1490 by Guillaume Chandelier.
I was in a very uncomfortable position, behind a glass window and an iron fence... and without a tripod(!) but wanted to share with you this nice piece of artwork illuminated in a way Rembrandt would have enjoyed (chiaroscuro).

Hi Eric ,
Nice theme and impressive atmosphere.The spot light makes the whole subject so artistic so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing,
George

Hi Eric,
without a tripod, behind a window ecc... you took a great shot! Good diagonal composition, delicates but charming colors and a fantastic chiaroscuro! (it reminds me about Gherardo delle Notti, more than rembrands: full of pathos, but not gloomy)
Regards,
Laura
P.S. thank you for the interesting note

La lumière était vraiment très difficile ici. Les contrastes sont extrèmes et tu ne pouvais pas éviter des zones sur et sous exposées; Personnellement j'aurais un peu sous exposé. ca aurait aussi eu l'avantage d'assombrir encore un peu plus le mur derrière et de donner un effet plus prononcé de spot de lumière. La scène est tout de même très belle.
