Taken at Blists Hill Victorian town - exposure tricky due to contrasting light conditions - shows the advantage of bracketing shots! Think the lighting has created the look of an Old Masters painting - although the subject matter is not quite so glamourous!

This is quite well done

Almost anything can be spectacular under fairy light conditions

Is this all natural lighting?

It very much has an old masters feel to it.

yes it is - old workshop with no walls to the right of the image - side lighting plus a few small overhead skylights.

I think this old painting should be professionally cleaned to remove the coal dust before it goes back to the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam .

What a cracking piece of imagery, you should be proud of this one.

They provided appropriate lighting for the setting - and you made good use of it.
