Wow - amazing photographs! Look at the detail in those pictures!

They came out well, didn't they?

It's only a cheap, little camera, but I like what it can do.

Those paintings are wonderfully vulgar! :)

Your camera is making an excellent job of the photos too.

I'm proud of my little Nikon. I've pushed it to the limits here and it's done a really good job.

Wow, what beautiful wall art!

It's great, isn't it? It should be a lot better known than it is.

Satyrs, Cupid and some wonderfully robust goddesses. Fantastic!
You and your camera did very well with these.
Who is the monarch in the first picture?

Thanks.

This is supposedly King David- though the model looks female to me. (S)he and King Solomon dominate a chamber- the star chamber- filled with images of Biblical worthies.

I would never have thought that was a portrait of a biblical monarch. He/she looks rather androgynous to me...rather like my angels.

My uninstructed guess was that the two figures represented Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

I love the scowly demons on the third picture. And look at the rolls of fat on those nymphs.

I love how the last photo has those cherubs doing synchronized swimming!
