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.

Ariana Grande is working on a new tune, Buddha is a Woman...

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

all that inky blackness really serves to accentuate the subject, offset composition works well

I really like the dark tones. This could be a movie still for one of those 1930s movies set in China.
