Saint Ignatius
Statue of the bust of Saint Ignatius. It's a rather contemporary installation for a traditional cathedral. The lighting was almost non existent, but what was there was enough to set the mood for the shot. I noticed a great improvement in the higher ISO performance with a full frame camera. Zero post production done besides RAW conversion.
Canon 5D with 24-70 f2.8. 70mm f3.5 1/100 ISO 1600

I've been very impressed by Canons' high ISO performance from seeing examples on the net. It's nice to see a confirmation of this here in our own forum.
Very dramatic shot, Tom!

Very cool shot! I think the simplicity of this photo is what's so captivating. A few circles/sphere and basic lines.. all shades of browns and yellows. It really works well together :) The shadows and lighting are great too!
Great shot, Tom. Very dramatic.
Nice lines and symmetry. Lighting is nice in emphasizing the bust. Another great shot!
The single light source and the sculptor's design of this piece really gives an incredible sense of drama to the bust. This is a great, straight on capture, and very likely shows the sculptor's intentions as far as initial impact to the viewer of this piece.
Also, it is a great example of the technical prowess of the Canon. The lack of digital noise is very impressive.
Did you try shooting this scene from a different angle? It would be interesting to work the composition a bit to get a different feeling from the scene.
There are some slivers of black on the lower left and the upper right of the image. Are these part of a doorway? Or something else? Just curious...
