A nice scene Pete, where is this?

I wish the highlights were not blown in this, you would have had to bracket your exposures and blended them, but with that bright light it would not be an easy exposure even with bracketing.

I do like the composition here. Some sort of museum display?

I do have to agree with Jim on the highlights in this exposure - that's some seriously harsh light in the bright spots. If you don't have bracketed exposures to blend you might be able to tame the highlights a bit in either Lightroom or Photoshop. It would be worth a try as this is still a nice composition.

It is at the museum about a mile from the Santa Ynez mission.

Yea, I know it has intense highlights and I would need to learn more to "Tame" it, if even possible with this single exposure. It was a really dark corner of the room far away and exposed for the wall and barrel. I think I zoomed in all the way to get the composition. If I go back, I'll use a tripod and take multiple exposures and stack, provided I learn how. I'm still an old school photographer.
