Description

Built in the mid 1800's, the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes, France has some of the most beautiful mosaic art that I've ever seen. The dome ceiling is one area that can be hard for most visitors to appreciate, as it's difficult to spend much time looking straight up.
I really wanted to capture the intricacy of this artwork, so I spent a considerable amount of time in the isle, right in front of the alter, sitting on the floor under my tripod, trying to get the camera adjusted and framed up exactly perfect to grab this shot. I couldn't quite get the entire thing in my frame without laying on my back, but there were so many people who insisted that they were going to try and squeeze between me and the pews to get by, I chose to be satisfied with sitting and not lay down.

I would recommend that you consider printing this on metal, acrylic or a metallic paper. That will bring out the depth and colors of this amazing artwork. The larger the print, the more impact it will create! This would also make a perfect, round beach towel!
