visitors at the palace of Versailles viewing an architectural model of the building.


one side of this room at versailles was so packed with tourists trying to watch an AV presentation that it presented an opportunity for me to capture this image relatively juxtaposition reminded me of da vincis "the last supper" and i felt the composition was further strengthened by the clear reflections from the the glass flat fluorescent overhead light reflecting back into the faces of the subjects creating an overall "soft light" results in a slightly retro look which is aesthetically pleasing. I was struck by the juxtaposition of the the two ladies in the centre of the image (possibly mother and daughter) as the school kid pushes his way between them to see what was behind the was so keen to get to the front,it was amusing to watch.
