Behind the Veil - a photo on Flickriver

Behind the Veil

            At the V&A museum, Kensington, London. I'm not exactly sure what the "veil" actually is. It was some kind of screen that covered the entrance to this domed archway. It is NOT a texture that I applied myself in post processing as anyone who has visited the V&A lately will know. It does however have a diffusing effect which I think is quite pleasing. 

My apologies to Rob Oo, a dutch architectural photographer friend who shot a very similar shot on a trip he made to the UK about a month ago. His take is slightly different from mine but the similarities are certainly there.
