The man made by letters Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture in the expo2008, in Zaragoza. One of the most interesting things I saw was this sculpture representing a sitting man, the sculpture is made by letters.

In the WS a wider view of the sculpture.

Hola Sergio ,
Wow , What a beautiful sculpture ! The WS is good to present it , but this one is really better . Excellent framing and perspective , and a perfect exposure with a splendi blue sky in the back ground .
Bravo

Hola Sergio

Really impressive piece of art !
The thumbnail is very eyecatching, and I don't really know what I will see by opening it... What a surprise to see all these imbricated letters forming a man.
The way you've composed with the sculpture is very well thought, each element stands out. Really effective frame.
Of course, the perfect blue sky is an ideal back-cloth for the white subject.
Sharpness, contrast and a light perfectly managed... Great work, compliments.

Regards
Karine

Dear Sergio, I love this bicolored compo, the amazing tones and the perfect sharpness, I added it to my theme about rehumanization of urban landscapes. BR, Jalab

Hola Sergio.
Una original fotografia en un buen angulo, precioso color azul el del cielo y gran nitidez en todo el maremagnum de letras. Idonea la composicion del marco para darle mayor relieve.
Un cordial saludo.

Hola Sergio,
the letters fill the space with beautiful proportions, and you handled the difficult light situation very well.

The sculpture is really interesting but also your realization! I like this POV and the composition too. And I like the perfectly contrasted letters and the frame.
Good work!!!

Docarmo (8814) 2009-04-17 8:17

Hi Sergio,
Very interesting sculpture, it says everything! ;-)
I like both versions, but I have a slight preference for that one of the WS, mainly if the angle was a little more to the right or to the left, to see better the form of the sculpture body, like you've done with the principal image. But I don't know the conditions of the background, of course. Probably you've chosen the better angle.
Anyway, it is a fantastic work - yours and the sculpture.
Bravo!

Hola Sergio,

una escultura muy original, me gusta tambien mucho tu encuadre con el fuerte contraste entre las letras blancas y el cielo azul, y nada mas... las letras no forman texto, me parece, no?

Buen fin de semana
Günther

Hello Sergio

Really a beautiful picture..there was a thought..an intention..a composition in mind..and the execution is just perfect..good use of the light and the elements.

The pov provides a good sense of abstraction ! Love this one..really stands out !

Cheers

Hola Sergio,
This is an unusual work of art, and I really like your presentation. The simplicity of the white letters against the blue sky is beautiful. Thanks for the wider view, too.

Hola Sergio
très belle photo de cette sculpture. Elle ressort magnifiquement sur le bleu du ciel. Le point de vue est excellent. Je trouve cette oeuvre géniale et qui nous rappelle que l'homme sans ses lettres et sa reflexion n'est rien. Félicitations.

Intriguing sculpture! The blue sky and letter patterns work beautifully together. I like your POV for the shot. Also, the workshop is impressive with the buildings in the background. Very well seen and captured.

Hola amigo Sergio:

Casi me saco un ojo tratando de leer todo lo que dice allí, pero veo que no hay un texto especifico. Para mí esta imagen y el WS representa claramente lo que es el ingenio humano, la creatividad que se irradia. Sería interesante que hubieras detallado el nombre del autor de esta bella obra.

Muy interesante y llamativa, felicitaciones

Saludos, John

sunamoon (5053) 2009-04-18 8:28

Muy original! Bravo!

Un saludo,

cherryripe (18794) 2009-04-18 10:55

Hola Sergio
Que guay esta escultura !
Me encantan las detalles y como las letras se destacan contre el cielo tan azul. El compuesto esta bien visto tambien con la mirada hacia la parte mas vacia.
Saludos

Hola Sergio,
La escultura en sí es muy atractiva pero el cielo azul colándose por todos sus huecos la hace muy especial.

Hola Sergio,
The limited number of colors works very well in creating many micro contrast areas in the image.
Have a nice day JY

Ciao Sergio,
una immagine davvero originale e molto ben rappresentata.
Lo sharp è eccellente e il contrasto tra la scultura e il blu del cielo, è davvero notevole.

Complimenti!

Excellent view on this sculpture. I very much like the whole composition with the intense blue sky in the background.

MichaelTrezzi (3136) 2009-06-18 13:25

Hello Sergio, yes, it is a great sculpture, however you managed to create a very special photo of it. Just the letters, the shape of the manm the blue heaven, that's it, nothing more, no disturbing background, just clean cut. It is very impressive, great composition. Well done, Kind regards, Michael

aloste (419) 2009-07-07 8:28

Hola Sergio!
Siempre me llamó la atención esta escultura de la Expo, su originalidad al estar hecha con letras soldadas entre sí...tu imagen muestra la magnitud de la obra del escultor, tiene muy buen detalle y el punto de vista es muy bueno, al contrastarlo con el cielo azul.
¡Ay la Expo! ¿Qué fue de ella? ¿Capricho, pelotazo, gasto inútil?
Saludos,
Antonio
