Hippocampus

(Click on the image for a larger view)

Another great creation from the folks at the Albany Brass Ring Carousel. I had a chance to see and photograph the hippocampus during a visit last week. There was lots of carving activity going on with other animals which will be part of the incredible carousel.

1) Absolutely gorgeous!! The detail and the color is wonderful.

2) What is the scale?

3) Did you photoshop the background blurry???

It is approximately 6 feet tall I believe.
Yes, I Photoshopped the background blur since the background busyness distracted from the animal and I didn't think to do it at the time with my F-stop.
The hippocampus is a real beauty!

I figured it had to be large, but the picture just makes it look about 6 inches tall!! :-)

Oh no, I'll have to jump into the photo for scale next time.
