Photographer’s Note

Here's another picture of some statues from the Bardo museum outside Tunis (to see some more click the Bardo link in the location information above). I can't tell you what these statues are but this is in the Carthage room so I guess they come from there. In the front you see a part of one of the many beautiful mosaics. The museum is housed in an old palace hence the title.

This is a detail from a much larger picture, hence the graininess and lack of sharpness. Because of the strange angle I had to shoot this from (as I mentioned in a previous note I was dodging hordes of tourists) this was the only version I thought worked. I posted a version of the original picture as a workshop so that you can tell me if this was a good choice. A while I was going for some kind of 'decapitated'-idea, since in the original there is a line of whole statues that ends with two without heads, but I couldn't figure out a way to crop it to get the lines working with the idea so I skipped that. Feel free to do a workshop on the original version as well if you have any good ideas. The other purpose of posting the other version as well is that it shows what this place looks like a little.
