Sorry, but I don't really like it too awful much. Seems that the light is uneven (too strong at the bottom, not strong enuff at the top). Not that shots like this are easy. I think there must be some special techniques to photographing relief artwork like this (??) But what might be an interesting shot is to move your camera as close as your lens can focus and turn the camera ~ 75 degrees to the side to actually capture the perspective/depth of the wall. It would look strange but might be worth a try

I'm sorry- the light was purposely placed on the bottom left corner, and I took the shot around that area as well. I have a few other "straight" shots with the flash directly on the center of the metalwork - I'll give those a post sometime after I process them.

Thanks.

Heck of a try, though. I'll bet it ( the relief) looks impressive live.

I can see why you'd place the light at an angle: could/should create interesting shadows and a greater sense of dimensionality.
