Post-Processing:
Correct perspective. Clone one distraction. Smudge one background area. MIK vignette filter. Adjust levels.
Extra Info:
Part of an exhibit of Medieval History. Taken through the glass case. When I was young, I always wanted to be the one who carried one of these (a more modern model) in church. I wanted to see if I could swing it around my head. Unfortunately, my reputation preceded me so I never got the chance.

I can't unsee the face in the main subject.

Thanks for the comments.
jomari: Let's just say they made the right decision ;-)
aoc46: It was highlighted but yes I added the vignette. I hope I remembered to put that in my pp.
Robert: I did clone and blur some of the background. I felt that any more might be too artificial. I don't know if that was the right choice.
Jade: Most museums don't allow tripods. Getting more dof was just about impossible. However, I think that even if I could I would have wanted the secondary object blurred. And here I was feeling good about getting that kind of sharpness at 1/10s LOL

Nice motive for the theme. I like the colors you got, maybe a bit more contrast would make it more "punchy". The background is distracting, probably almost impossible to avoid being a museum. I laughed imagining what you told in the extra info, very funny! Thanks for sharing :)

The subject, part in and part out of focus makes this a miss for me. Well lit.

Interesting censer - fits the theme. I know taking pictures in museums through glass can be difficult. Did you think of trying to clone out the background? I know this can be arduous, but it would have highlighted the censer and removed the distracting background. In my TT.

You've made a good job of shooting through glass and captured an image of an essential part of religion. In my TT.

Interesting artifact, nicely photographed. Was it spotlighted in the case, or did you add the vignette?

Have you lived up to your reputation?
An interesting piece, well photographed. In my tt.
