Actually, I think that blurring would work really well. I agree about photographing artwork, the piece itself IS the art. I did try a different angle with #3, and I think it worked really well. The only other artwork I really wanted to photograph, but couldn't, was closeup detail on how Monet painted some of his pieces.
And yes, I do like Rodin! These were difficult to process because it was very brightly lit through a skylight, and most of the pieces sparkled quite a bit. It made for difficult dynamic ranges and keeping proper contrast and detail.
Thanks for your comments!
