I suppose I could call this post "How to take a photograph." I thought I would show you the finished photograph first - you know, the one with more interest or impact. Then I can show you how this finished photograph came about.
This is the scene I came upon, three women looking at one of the paintings. So I did this quick shot. Then I stood there waiting to see if the women would move around at all and separate a bit and make a more interesting silhouette. Well, they didn't move apart, so I moved closer to see what I could get. Then while talking, I saw the woman on the left extend her arm and start gesturing while she was talking. I missed that shot. But then the woman on the right extend her arm and when she gestured for maybe fifteen seconds, I was shooting as fast as I could, and the first photo on this page is the result! It is worth clicking on each photo to see it larger.

The painting is intriguing I like how you were able to photograph the women's discussion and interest in the painting. Trace
The first photo really shows the painting. It looks as if the woman is touching the painting!! But it’s nice to see both. Betsey
