Clodion Bronze Sculpture

Here is another piece of art work I have purchased while treasure hunting. It is a bronze sculpture by Clodion. I have no clue of the value (yet to get it appraised). It eminds me of my daughters, that's why I bought it.

I took two shots, first one I played with the color, trying to get it to look bronze. The second is the true color of the sculpture.

I like the comp here but the focus looks missed.

After studying it a little longer, it does look like the POF was on the left foot of the shorter girl and their hands. I need to lower the f-stop a click or two. I shot in "Live View" with manual POF on the face of the shorter girl.

I added a third image. I rotated the statue a little and changed to 18-55 lens with 3x magnifier filter.

3rd image is better. Plus, it looks like your white balance is closer to where it should be. :-)

Thanks!!! I did do a custom WB on these images. I have never used CWB before. The third just had better lighting and a different white background. The first two were taken 4:30 this morning and the third was taken at 3:00 this afternoon.
