This is one of the more "painterly" photos I've taken. It comes as close as anything I've done to capturing the chiaroscuro effect I aim at so often and that moves me so deeply. I took it in a cathedral in NYC. Sadly, I can't remember its name with certainty. St. Bartholomew Cathedral, I believe. See below to see the room in which I took the picture.

I like this picture better. The light behind the angel gives the picture much more warmth than the one of the whole room.
This would make a great Christmas card. Except it would kick off the pictures of your beautiful girls and that would be a crying shame.
I'm happy for your comment. I should have made clear (and may yet make clear) how in a given situation there are lots of photographic possibilities--how one "discovers" what is there. The room is boring as a photograph, but within it I found (forced?) this nice little gem.
