[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This modern fountain, located near Centre Georges Pompidou in La Place Igor Stravinsky, is a surprising and playful kinetic sculpture. It consists of sixteen separate scultures created by Niki de Saint Phalle and inspired by Stravinsky's music . I don't know which piece inspired this skull. The guy with the sunglasses who has a lot in common with the sculpture was obviously inspired by himself.

This is one of my favorite places in Paris.

ISO 200, focal length 158.0 mm. Straightened, cropped to remove distraction and give focus, framed.

YIKES!
From the sublime to the ... scary. Nikky of St Phallicism must have been on something quite chemically potent and yet I bet he got paid for this! The astute young man in the corner is also worrying about the sanity of the system. This is straight out of a ten-year-old boy's colouring sketch pad.
Not something that I would add to my favourites list.
Photographically?
Composition is good, Lighting is fine ... now searching ...
Give us quality sculpture - 'quality', something with some soul to it?
