Old Vintage Virgin Mary Medal

When I took this picture of a vintage Virgin Mary medal to list in my ETSY store I felt this picture was something special. My husband happened to be working out of his home office at the same time, so I showed him my product shots for my ETSY listings because I thought my pictures came out pretty good. He looked over all of them and said they looked great, but that he really loved this picture of the Virgin Mary. 

My husband happens to be a really good photographer and he shoots with a digital slr and several lens that cost more then my little digital one shot wonder... so I was pretty pleased that he liked my picture. But then he proceeded to ask me for the medal and told me, he wanted to try to shoot it himself out in our sun room. Of course I gave him the medal and not at all grudgingly- but when I went back to work listing I couldn't help but wonder how much better or more artistic his photograph would turn out. 

After about ten minutes, he returned with the medal.

"I couldn't get it," he said as he went back to work on his computer.

"Your picture looks almost ghostly."

I returned to my listings smiling- I don't know what I was afraid of. My original picture was just perfect the way it was shot.  

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and not a threat.
