Having a bit of a soft spot for Eastern mysticism (and food, landscapes etc etc) my eye was naturally drawn to this statue at a friend's home recently here in Mexico City. The single candle, warm reflected light, and sharp silhouette of the statue seemed to evoke a easy tranquility. I do love a good silhouette too so was very happy to train the camera on this scene and aim for an exposure to really wipe out all detail in the statue. My trusty 50mm at f2.8 and 1/200th sec at ISO400 did the trick nicely - the glow of the shot reminds me of the warmth I soon enjoyed during the rib-fest that followed. Thanks again Steve & Michelle, for dinner and the op.
