Photo Comments:
It’s never worth forgetting that photography is all about light, not just the quantity but the quality.
Luckily the President’s Office is quite near my home so I was able to check different types of lighting.
I was looking for bright light at an angle that would bring out the texture of the art work.
Because I wanted maximum detail I took two overlapping vertical pictures of this lion and stitched them together afterwards to increase the pixel count.

Photo Comments:
This is a straightforward picture photographically except for two points.
First, it emphasises that you can only get a picture if you’re willing to go out and get it and:
Snow photos only work if you check the exposure carefully and make sure the highlights aren’t blown.
