[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Images of the bean-like Skygate sculpture in Millenium Park in Chicago, appear here and there on Trekearth.
The sculpture makes for interesting relective images as you gaze into it's convex relective surface.

Awesome POV., Bernie
Really strange looking shot. The distortion of the sculpture made a nice convex effect. I find that it would be really interesting to see myself in this different and surreal perspective as you did in this shot.
TFS,

Hi Bernie, nice shot!, I liked your composition, the distortion, the geometrical mirrors and the diagonal made of persons. It is unique!

This is a terrific shot that shows the power of Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate sculpture. Yes, it reflects the clouds, yes, it reflects the city ... but little did he know that ... the interaction between it and the people is just tremendous. And emotional sometimes.
