This is the interior of an ex-hippie artist who gave me a tour of his deep canyon home in the Santa Ana Mountains. He talked my ear off for 20 minutes about my prior visit reminding me how we talked about my Outback (never happened).
Window reminded me of the English flag, hence the title. His sculpture, the dragon.
I went out there looking for images for the Ansel challenge. This was in front of his cabin the last time I was out there. And no, he was not there that day, or maybe he was watching.

Shooting from inside to the bright outside is a unique take on AA style. The 10 camera stop dynamic range of that situation would have been frustrating to efforts to dodge and burn away in the darkroom. To my eyes, there is good sharpness and detail in the sculpted wood and burlap window treatment. But, the clarity and sharpness fall off in the window panes and frame, indicating a too shallow DOF. I do find detail in the darkest shadows.
