This ornamental sash is part of a collection at Iolani Palace. There is just a bit of blur in the image. Part of it is from the wide aperture which reduces depth of field, and some is from the low shutter speed relative to the focal length. The sash had a few runs and stains which Photoshop’s Remove Tool easily fixed. Too bad museum curators don’t have something as easy as the Remove Tool to aid in their efforts.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the sash collection was the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz. “What makes a King out of a slave? Courage…”
