[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another (the last one) shot from Sevilla. A Picture of one of the statues on the pasos, when the Semana Santa is finished. She was in a showcase (there's a reflection I couldn't avoid and I can't remove, can you help me?). I took this photo because I thought that she is really sad, almost a living person so it's beautiful! And because she reminded me of a Tiziano's picture...
I can't remember for sure in which church she was, I think in Macarena, but I can't swear!
I beg your pardon for the strange tone and the reflection, but a glass box with two little bulbs it's difficult to take if you have not a tripod.
Hope you enjoy the spirit!
Laura
P.S. give a look to Chiaroscuro - Chyrrus shot: another country, same pathos

Hello Laura
I like the rich brown and gold colours, and the light is falling on to the head and hands very effectively. The conditions you describe were evidently very difficult for photography and I think you have done a good job. I can't suggest any solution to the problem of reflections except to clone them out - it would be quite easy in this shot as they appear in a plain dark area.
Best wishes Maggie
