Another from my "not posted" file. I liked this, but at the time I didn't want to bury you in one part of the mammoth after another! :P

are you saying that this visit was a mammoth undertaking?
great shot
Imagine all the cheesy tschockies you could make with this. A great low light capture.
The lighting is so rich and the composition compelling.
Outstanding textures & light - wonderful shot...
Beautiful capture Tara.
I like the lighting very much.
Love how you did this.... Excellent Work! Aloha
"With teeth of this size I think I'll choose another dinner!" - T.Rex. Nice job with this - both lighting and point of view (yeah, "point" all right! Ouch!). :-) Any more photos like this to make ol' T.Rex think twice? Love it!
Amazing capture. God bless.
The beautiful lighting emphasizes the past that the viewer can barely wonder & imagine. Thank you.
The wonderful light here really gives this an other-worldly feel, Tara. Beautifully photographed!
Excellent lighting !
Great shot Tara. I like the low light!
I know you're sensitive about not posting too many of the same subject in a short period of time, but I don't think anyone minds. I can understand not doing it 5 days in a row, but in the same month, I think it would be fine. But I understand your wanting to keep a variety going, I'm speaking for myself, so don't go by my feelings...In any case, this seems like some strange leather construction, it's just fascinating, and so unique---I wouldn't have guessed a tusk at first. But we can see it's a tusk, once we know. And it's got your rembrandt object-emerging-from-the-dark feeling, and his reds and yellows and golds and browns. And all that dark, with hints of the object coming through on its edges. Beautifully done; and it captures the private 'close' feel of some museum displays too.
