Lion, Greek, 325 B.C.E., pentelic marble

Let’s play!

This fierce, guardian lion greets you when you enter the main hall of the Nelson and, to me, he looks like the sweetest, most playful fellow. His stance is actually the universal dog posture to say, “Let’s play!”

However, this photo experience has pushed me to the next step. I now have to learn some basic photo editing skills because I can’t manage to work around the signage and back ground issues in the museum. There was no way to get a view of this guy’s stance without including some form of signage. So, I’m on a mission now to test out different free editing tools to get rid of that annoying blue and white sign in the photo.

I’ll share the results! Any ideas for what to try are welcome!
