I shot this seahorse with the Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 lens.

It was given to me by my grandmother as a homecoming gift from Greece, when I was a little kid. She died last year about a week before Leo and I were to fly to the Steemfest⁴. So this is my little memento of her.

It is painted with a glass-like filling; white, yellow and red on the left side, and white, blue and red on the right side.

It had darkened a bit, and the white parts had turned yellowish so I dipped it into citric acid for a while before taking the photo. I couldn't make the whites clean up, but the metal got a bit shinier. I guess the colours were made with some kind of epoxy instead of glass, so they had lost most of their original lustre.

I felt like this photo was a success. I could do more of these.

What do you think?

See ya!

Your memory with granny is with seahorse, it remind you sweet memories with her, you have try to best to make it perfect look as it was fisrt meet with you. Have a good day.

Yup! These are quite good!! It’s quite attractive!!

I've finally found myself editing the Grand Palace photos, but there are too many of them. (I now realize why I hesitated editing them.) It'll take me a while.

In my modest opinion, it is a well-made photo, it is a beautiful memory of your grandmother.

Thank you very much, and I appreciate the kind words. 🙂
