good shot xu! the central figure is very alive .. peeping out tall above the rest ... a very humane feeling. i like the use of the DOF. blur-focus-blur is looking great.

Good,You've added your own twist to already original artwork. Color opposition, reduced DoF and shapes populating the background are all excellent features.

My reference may be less arty than yours but I had in mind a funny scene of "Toy Story" cartoon when one of the toys falls into a bowl of small plastic toy aliens waiting to be elevated and picked up to the sky. One of the clay character has a similar expression staring to the sky....

Fantastic! I thought this was just a close up of the ground with a door in the background from the thumbnail, but it turned out to be much, much better! What a great piece of art (both the sculpture and your take on it). Excellent, shallow DOF, nice colours. Well done!

BTW you have a very nice writing style in English Xu, especially since it isn't your 1st language! Cheers! ;-)

You have done well in offering those over the crowd.
Happy anniversary to the photo. This photo is a very good choice of the way you are in expressing through photography.
