I really love light, shadow and shape pictures like this. They have a changing and challenging way of being attractive. I am usually one of those who suggests people don't use gratuitous B&W but in this case I think it might have helped the image. The brown of the steps seems out of place and so a monochrome treatment might jus tie all the elements together

Congratulations with the to 20 result with this.

I notice the feedback you received from DanSig. I would agree with the idea about the wide lens and stormy clouds, however I feel the sky does work very well in the negative and adds to the feel of this picture.

I disagree with his view about direct representation of art. If this had been in the “positive” that would be a fair comment, but by reversing the colours I feel that you have moved away from an art representation and into an abstract.

Comment by DanSig:
this is a very interesting image, but still it should have beeb DQ'ed because photographing artwork as the main subject of the photograph is against the rules.. I think...

but it's not my job to judge that..

the image could be improved a bit.. maby not this particular shot, but some pinters to use if you shoot this subject again...

the image would benefit from a wider lens, the sculpture takes up too much space to the sides in the image, the sky is not interesting, for a negative image some really dark stormclouds would have been great, the horizon if well placed at the bottom of the image, that´s about the only thing interesting in the image

try shooting again with these pointers and see if you like the result.

hello,

i really liked this one. this shot is great. the sky is good, you got the detail in the "subject", it was not something that everyone else is doing.

great photography. well deserved placement. congratulations.

I love the leading lines in this. and the interest that the bright blue, with artwork, gives in contrast to the rest of the rusty old train cars. I think this is a very appealing photo!

Really just a beautiful image that truly works well in negative. Colours are outstanding, and the sculpture, of course, makes for a fantastic composition. I think the shot was well taken and the subject perfectly placed. A slight distraction for me is the far background of trees. Had the left, taller ones not been in view, maybe I wouldn't notice so much. Overall, very lovely! Congratulations.
