Challenge: Backlighting III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Pentax K100D
Lens: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC for Pentax
Location: DeYoung Museum, San Francisco
Date: Aug 18, 2007
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Traditional Art
Date Uploaded: Aug 19, 2007

This is an untitled cast glass sculpture by Nicolas Africano displayed at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. Walking by I was struck by the light from an outside window filtering through the yellow dress, and the subtle expression on the figure's face. The art is all Africano's. I just captured the image. I may sub this out before the challenge, but if I don't my prediction is low to mid 5s, because its more about the sculpture than the photograph.

Backlighting is lost, maybe if there were some highlights on the head.

I think it is a little too bright. I would also like to see more breathing room for the main subject (more negative space on the left as opposed to the right)

I don't know what to think of this one. It's a (little?) statue, but I don't like it, so the photo to me is not appealing.

the white background is kind of boring and he yellow does not go well with the photo
