Emerging from black oil, you presented this sculpture well. I like to include information about the piece when shooting art.

Love the tones and the shadows here . . . rather wish it was all shadow. Part of me likes that bit of reality in the tip of the shade, part of me wishes you had stepped to the left and avoided it. The subtle texture on the wall is yummy.

ok, am I the only person to think 'Mandarin' when I look at this? (especially the thumb). Love the light and shadows here.

I think photographing sculpture is fine, and probably no different from photographing architecture, or for that matter, a horse or a dog. You still have to choose your angle and make the most of the ambient light (if you aren't providing your own.) I think this is a totally different kettle of fish than shooting a painting or a wall of graffiti (without anything to give it an individual twist).
I like the dark and contrasty tones here and the lost and found aspects.

Originally posted by nam: The strong tonal contrasts work wonderfully well to bring attention to the details of her attire. My favorite things are her facial expression and the position of her upraised hand. I find myself trying to hold my hand that way and imagine what I might be thinking or saying . . . I can't. I also really like her position in the frame and the very dark background.

I too raise objections to photos of sculpture, but this one does have great shadows on it and silhouettes of leaves which add interest. It's well composed, too.

I think strong verticals at varying distances is a good way to compose in a square. the barcode effect.

I like how the world is shifting into purple as it goes through the looking glass
