I was in a certain location (actually the Los Angeles County Museum) when my surroundings caught my eye,

    great, now I gotta pee! the power of suggestion... lol3.gif


    that's actually a cool shot, the tone, the noise. I like it. Marybe crop a little bit off the top, as I like the dark mood, and the light top only takes away from it.

    Never really dared shoot in a public bathroom. Nice work thumb.gif
    Since 2004...

    I would have cropped a little more but I didn't want to lose the detail of the marble work. This part of the museum is very old - early 1900's if I remember correctly. This was all within one very large "stall"' a private shooting location.

    Wait a minute - I think I have to "go" now! Laughing.gif

    Love the sepia tone and the muted lighting.

    If you don't want to crop, maybe just a little "burn in" using PS of the highlights on the top. The brighter part of the frame pulls the viewer's eye (or at least mine) up to the top of the pic. Just a thought.


    Nice shot.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Thanks for the approach. I will give that a try tonight, that could be a perfect solution.

    Wow! Great sculptures. I can see why they'd be at the LACMA. Did you note the artist?

    nice capture Gary!!! I agree with the others about burning the top left a bit! I like the mood very much though... It also made me think of a picture I took a while ago.

    I've seen the artist's work all over the place. Can't quite remember his name. It seems it's John something . . .

    They're at the Natural History Museum - not the LACMA, but maybe they should be moved and setup at the LACMA as an installation.

    Maybe this is what is referred to as "overshare". But, the subject seems come with a certain amount of toilet humor. Laughing.gif

    John Flushing, I believe. His studio is in Queens.
