Biltmore Upper Windows

I took this with my Nikon D2X on a trip I had with a friend that lived out in Tennessee. This was a Nikon flagship camera in 2004 and it was build like a tank! It had 12.4 megapixels, was a lot back then. The camera was a little bit unforgiving. Auto focus, white balance and color cast, and understanding how to adjust settings quickly, which required practice. I took this shot in 2015, which was the first year that the Biltmore Estate had the massive Dale Chihuly exhibit. What you are looking at are the upper windows of the east side of this 175,000 square foot mansion. I toned this to give an older historic feel that is weathered and a bit cold. I would like this picture hanging in my library!
