Aphrodite or Venus de Milo, Goddess of Love, in the Louvre, Paris.
With no flash allowed and the gallery jam-packed with tourists she is a difficult subject to capture.
Taken with Kodak V550, post work in PSP.
(Apart from some specified galleries, photography (non Flash) is permitted in the Louvre for non commercial use.)

Just a reminder if you would like to join in the Wednesday B/W Challenge please pm me the name or address of your b/w image uploaded on any Wednesday and I will add it to the ones already listed. If you don't want to participate please have a look anyway - there are lots of great B/W images well worth viewing :)

I just now discovered who won and also who the winners chose in succession. I think I understand the contest now. Congrats to all the winners.
This will add to the beauty of the entries, LE.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Lyn - You nailed this no-flash image. Unless the statue has been moved, I recall that it is in a darker location in the museum. Thad
