I was visiting the Autry Museum in Griffith Park, Ca.
No Flash Photos were allowed and no tripods either.
I managed to get this with available light reflecting on the gold inlay of this gun. Unfortunately I had to set the ISO high to get anything at all. It is mostly dark with a few highlights so I guess it fits.

To me, the lighting hasn't brought out the beauty of this object. I can't form an idea of what exactly it is. Perhaps a tighter frame on just the bear would have worked. There are hot spots in areas that don't add to the frame.
Nice job but DOF is a bit too tight to me. I'd like to see a bit more of the detail in sharp focus. I realize you were putting the emphasis on the bear for the title, but I think people would have still gotten it without such tight DOF.
