 ...my second attempt to enter the picture of one of my favorite sculptures at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA

Mark di Suvero's Sunflowers for Vincent, 1978-1983, painted steel, 17 x 33 x 21'.

"Mark di Suvero's Sunflowers for Vincent, a large painted steel sculpture, operates in the Modernist tradition of constructed metal sculpture pioneered by artists such as Pablo Picasso and David Smith. It is constructed of both found objects (such as a ship's propeller) and steel cut to the artist's specifications. "- quoted from the sculpture description at the DeCordova site...

cropped and resized, cloned out a very small distracting sign in front of the "Hand" sculpture in the background... it looked like an annoying speck, and i had to do it, otherwise, why submit under the advanced rules? in addition, i adjusted the saturation and brightness...

and here it is, the ship's propeller, as mechanical as they come... you guys can have a go at it!
