Stan, I metered for the mid-ground wall (ISO 800, f/5.6@1/90). Looking at the history in LR, I straightened, brought up the shadows, chose medium contrast from the curves window, brought down the highlights, set the black clipping down a bit, added some clarity. The K-5 gives wonderful files.

I don't know how much work you had to do in postprocessing, but one of the things I find impressive about this, in addition to the strong use of the geometrics in the scene, is the amount of detail (for instance in the women on the escalator) despite the wide overall range of light/dark tones. It would have been so easy to have the darks block out . . . stan On Apr 2, 2013, at 2:40 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > Thanks, Bob! > > That renovated part of the Louvre is amazing.
