Info A c. 1905 mosaic by William de Leftwich Dodge on the ceiling of the Surrogate's Courthouse in New York City. I managed to get my tripod out for a minute when the courthouse opened to the public during an annual New York architecture weekend (Open House New York). The light was lousy and people were everywhere, so I was happy with the result, and am yet to find a better version out there, so I figured I'd give FPC a shot. own work. — Rhododendrites talk | 18:45, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Comment Needs S-curving to pop up the colors. They are very dull. --C messier (talk) 19:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- @C messier: Thanks. The light in there is not good regardless of time, it seems, and as I worked on it in Lightroom before uploading it, I stopped when it started to look too different from how they could realistically be photographed. When I return home tonight I'll work on the curves and upload another version to let others decide. — Rhododendrites talk | 19:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- Rhododendrites please aim for a rendering of what you saw, rather than something artificial. Our dear friend Livo had a habit of turning centuries old Roman ceilings into something that looked like it had been painted yesterday by a children's illustrator. A shame if the light wasn't great that day. My Open House weekend had bad weather and bad light outdoors too. -- Colin (talk) 07:38, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Comment - Great document and should be a VI, but I'm doubtful about FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:59, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - haven't had time to come back to this, but would like to. I'll bring it up elsewhere before deciding if it's worth renominating. — Rhododendrites talk | 12:49, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
