Gimme Five

This bronze hand belongs to Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) at the National Constitution Center Signers' Hall exhibit.
The exhibit features life-size bronze statutes of 42 men: the 39 delegates who signed the Constitution on September 17, 1787, as well as the three who refused.

A lovely warm image, Steph.
Walter Otto Koenig08-Jan-2010 22:23
The high iso works very well here, especially when I see your shutter speed and I assume they did not let you bring your tripod. Nice depth and details on this shot.
Doug Cruden08-Jan-2010 21:09
I agree, the high ISO visible in the background adds rather than subtracts from the composition...great shot Stephanie, a rich and warm subject beautifully taken
J. Scott Coile08-Jan-2010 20:45
Must be MIDAS ;-)
Phillip Normanton08-Jan-2010 20:29
Oh, but it's rude to point - or is he showing off his girlie polished fingernails?! lol Super tones - and the high-iso grainy dof manages to add to the whole rather than detract :o)
Ronald Bijtenhoorn08-Jan-2010 20:23
That's close! Well composed and nice shallow DOF. V!
Cindi Smith08-Jan-2010 20:00
Wow, the man with the golden hand. I like it, Steph....like the dof! If it is made of gold I will just take it and sell it!
Guest 08-Jan-2010 19:49
Beautifully composed photo Steph. wonderful colors, lovely shine on the bronze!! V
LynnH08-Jan-2010 19:06
Nice with the ISO as is. Really like the "in your face" POV and close details. V
lisamidi08-Jan-2010 18:50
Excellent macro, and I love the warm tones and details. Agree with Alistair for the crop.
Bernard Davis08-Jan-2010 18:40

Fabulous tones...I think the high Iso just adds to the great effect!
Guest 08-Jan-2010 16:12
You know! Most of them had terrible futures... you gotta watch what you sign.
Ed McConnell08-Jan-2010 15:50

Loving the detail, Stephanie. Even the "noise!" :-) Do agree with Alister that it would have been nice to see a bit mor space below the hand, but it's still an awesome composition!

Superb color, and the comp is very good, Is this full frame? If so not much you can do, if now, it is a little tight at the bottom, I would have considered leaving a little more space below the lower part of the hand. Otherwise a lovely image with good flow through to the OOF BG...
Michal Leszczynski08-Jan-2010 10:27
Excellent close-up photo, very good sharpness and details. V.
