I tend to struggle with images which are just representations of art. If you were to look in a book or something to just see what it looked like, then this does a fine job. But it leaves me with the feeling of just taking a picture of a picture.
In order to make a picture of art, there either needs to be something very dynamic about the representation - could be emphasizing texture or lighting or something - or there needs to be other element(s) in the picture. Basically it changes the image from just being a copy of the original art to being a new piece of art in it's own right. So for me, this shot is more a good copy of the original, but doesn't really grab me. I hope my explanation makes sense. -- Bruce Saturday, March 20, 2010, 6:44:03 PM, you wrote: DJM> Sculpture of a mask in the National Museum, Romes; DJM> http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10825483 DJM> Comments, criticisms, and suggestions greatly appreciated.
