Artist's Comments

I hope you people had the time to get into the right Christmas spirit this year. Not quite sure I did...

Anyhow, a Merry Christmas to you all!

This alabaster statue is called "Winged Victory of Samothrace" and represents the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, headless and armless. Must be one of the most stunning sculptures I have seen. I hope I can go see the original at the Louvre someday!

Does your picture mean that Christmas spirit has no head (no intelligence) ? *rolling eyes*

Very nice photo. I enjoy the soft colors, with the minimal colors. Very easy on the eyes, and the position of the subject, along with the interesting background, make it very pleasing in my view.

Ha, I went photographing at a special Christmas event earlier this month, and all the light was incandescent... Most shooting I had to do at ISO 1600 without tripod... sometimes even had to tap into the 3200 setting.

I felt lucky whenever I got a shot without too much blur. :P
