This was taken at the local monastry ,it was the shrine inside the high priest's quarters ,so i was fortunate to get a peek and a shot from it ,the gold guilded bibles are actual pure 24 carat gold ! I have not used flash in this photo and the light was realy low ,but it came out quite nice colors .

Love the gloomy gold cloistered feeling. The pic seems to slant down on the right though, and looks quite out of focus (especially the roses). I imagine that given the dark conditions of the location, it would be very difficult to avoid this blurriness without a tripod, etc.
This is a beautiful scene, invokes a feeling like a oil painting from times past. It could have been cropped a bit from the sides to better frame the subject, but overall this is a very nice photograph.
