Bonjour Adrian,

Hi Adrian,
Wow,what a great blue sky! Not a single cloud in sight.
That's cloudless sky contributed this sculpture with so much details in clear alphabets. You must be lucky on that day. Btw, That's huge !!!!!
Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Hello Adrian,

A very creative image of this beautiful art work. The steel sculpture in white sits nicely with the beautiful blue sky as the background. The image is very sharp and well lit.

Hello Adrian,
This interesting piece of art is magnificent against the pure blue sky. It would have been nice if the white boat was not there but I imagine it is a hard to get a shot without any distracting BG. Super clarity makes this a striking image - very well done.
Regards, Ann

delpeoples (44904) 2012-07-02 23:02

Salut cher Adrian

This is a fascinating sculpture, a little like the one in Canada. It contrasts beautifully against the sky and you chose a great Point of View to demonstrate its best angles. Excellent definition and sharpness too.

Bonne amities

In grande, un'opera che riporta un "nuovo" pensiero espressivo.
All'interno si nota una tendenza a coniugare forme e lettere.
Tra la comunicazione e la mancanza di ricevere il messaggio .
Ottimo lavoro .

sevy (13269) 2012-07-06 8:29

Voilà une sculpture que je ne connaissais pas du tout. L'ensemble blanc-bleu fonctionne vraiment très bien, pour le contraste et le rendu des volumes.
C'est un sujet photo que j'aimerais bien traiter.

Yves.

Hi Adrian

Apparently we have similar art-work here in Canada but I haven't been there yet. I wonder if it was done by the same artist? I do like your POV here but I personally probably would have cropped it so there was just the blue-sky and the top portion of the monument showing. I find the boats at the bottom at bit distracting. Overall this has been executed well.

Thanks,
Tosca

s_lush (15580) 2012-09-16 23:52

Hello Adrian,
I like such a style of sculpture very much. You have presented this one masterfully, under bright sunlight, against blue sky and interesting background. It seems that the statue is flying in the air or is solved in it. Excellent composition and perfect quality!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hi Adrian,

I love this artwork. I saw it in many photos and I allways like to see again. All photos I saw from it have this pretty blue sky and it increase the beauty of the sculpture.
Thanks for share

kasianowak (2215) 2012-11-28 6:21

Bonjour Adrian
J'aime bien ce photo! I like the contrast between the saturated sky and the brilliantly white sculpture and also the low viewpoint which allowed you to present most of the main subject against the blue background.
Bonne journee
Kasia

Hello Adrian, great sharp picture of the famous monument!Very creative, attractive well managed shot!Well done!

mjw364 (3642) 2013-01-13 5:02

Hello Adrian

What an interesting image. I like the composiotn and the contrast of colours but mostly I like the idea of people being made up from letters, or words. As a species humans are fundamentally creatures that create meaning with langauge and symbols. As Ludwig Wittgenstein once said: "The limits of my language are the limits of my world". I think this image captures that thought well.

kim_gwan (266) 2013-01-20 2:57

Bonjour Adrian,

Very nice sculpture indeed.

It makes me look tiny.

I believe it is made up of A-Z of a loving couple.

Cheers,
Ralf
