This is a very strong photograph Tony. The high contrast makes it, as do the points of light against the dark side of the sculpture. I haven't seen the full sculpture but you seem to have managed to make an original image from a work of art without simply reproducing it. It would also be interesting to see what it looks like in black and white.
Thanks for the comment. I've photographed this piece a few times, always a detail, never the whole piece, and always in sunlight. I increased the contrast on this shot to give it a more graphic effect. I don't know about black and white. It might work if it was filtered to lighten the sky.
Tony
