There is a stunning water wall at the front of the NGV. It's a Melbourne Icon - children love playing in it and if you watch long enough you'll see adults allowing themselves to touch it too - GRIN!
Solid work. The textures add to the mystery of this rigid man taking in the movement of the colorful, free spirited, individuals entering the frame. What an interesting image.
(I am imagining, what if the two figures would have moved to the left of the upper corner, would it make for even more compelling composition. Just wondering.)
great capture... i think this is very arty as well and i like the other people as they give the guy something to look at as well as adding some nice subdued color.
The Waterwall.........I miss Melbourne. I remeber as a kid playing with the waterwall, and complaining when they were thinking of not keeping it when they renovated the NGV.
Like the use of the security guard, and the placement in the bottom corner I feel works. It is a shame that you could not get it without the people in the upper part of the image. Haveing the blank negative space would have produced a stronger image.
