Thank you all very much for the kind words! (Wow, Michelle, you're good for the ego!) I was very surprised this turned out; the viewing angles are limited (the public is allowed to enter and stand on 1 landing, with large solid wood walls preventing you from going up or down from that landing. You can basically lean over the landing's railing), the lighting is challenging (bright, hot-spot wall-mounted sconces) and I shot fairly underexposed to minimize camera shake. (You'd laugh at the original RAW image of this!!) I'm thrilled with how this turned out, given all of that, and glad you all like it as much as I do!

Thank you all very much! I believe I shot this with Renee & Linda, on the same day I shot my Lincoln Memorial Finalist, and my Pension Building Finalist, and the day before my Passage Finalist---making that weekend certainly one of the most successful on record, for me personally! I recommend shooting with Renee & Linda all the time, now. ;)
