Very cool shot - I love the sun and stars pattern and the colors!

Interesting pattern and nicely captured, Denise.

Wonderful shot Denise! You must have been practically leaning over backwards to capture this. It reminds me of the sun and I love that red color! Very nice entry indeed.

Thanks, Frank!! The Art Deco in South Beach was mind boggling!! It was very dark in the rotunda, so I almost didn't take this shot. You can see I bumped up the ISO to 200 and was shooting a wide aperture and slow shutter. It is HUGE, the ceiling was very high up also. You can have it for your living room, if you live in a castle maybe ;-)))) I am pretty sure it was daylight coming through....I cannot image having to change a light bulb up there. I did not do a thing to the color by the way!! Impressive what they did in the era.

That is really a neat master piece. I love this shot! Great that you captured it. Interesting colors also, which I really like. Is it daylight behind the glas or lamps? How big is this? Might want to go for it in the living room. ;-)
