[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a monument made for celebrating the 350 years anniversary of Røros in 1994.

The artwork is symbolizing the mining activity that was the reason for establishing a town in the middle of this mountain area, and shows copper ore being transported to the melting place.

The woman is An-Magritt, the main character from the novel “Nattens Brød” by Johan Falkberget, the well-known author from Røros.

The statue is placed in front of Røros Cultural Center, and the sculptor is Skule Waksvik.

------

Røros is a former mining town in Central Norway, located in a mountain area not far from the border to Sweden. The old town has maintained much of its original character, including a street plan dating from the 17th century, and timber houses from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Hi Pablo,

nice lighting & sharpness & looks good with the inclusion of the building but IMHO it would be lovelier if An-Magritt's face is visible in the photo.

Hi Pablo,

The windows of the Cultural centre are so asking for attention that I only looked to the sculpture a second and then I wanted to see the surroundings.
When I did that I could return my attention to the sculpture.
You made a lovely composition this way.

Hi Pablo,

I like your choice of POV, a different angle making the composition interesting, due to the movement that is suggested by the statue. Very sharp, well exposed and nicely presented.
TFS,

Hello Pablo
This is a good visual slice of your country and your culture. Very dynamic sculpture of that mining activity.
I would have liked to see it from the other side but it must be a question of light . Maybe a flash would have helped.
Nicely done.

Ciao Pablo, splendid view of this lovely statue with excellent sharpness, wonderful reflections on window, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Pablo,

I like your pov which allows the plain wall of the building to be a very useful backcloth for your statue. The statue is sharp and detailed with lovely tones of colour!
I like the way that the window becomes of secondary interest by its reflected sky and trees!

kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your warm comments on 'Green, our grass and way of life'.

Hi Pablo
Wonderful statue with beautiful reflections.
Excellent sharpness and beautiful presentation.
Lovely composition.Well done.TFS.

Hello Pablo!
Nice photo of the statue that shows us a piece of Røros' life!
It's interesting that you show it from the back, but this way we can see what is in the sleigh! (: I also like the background, the colours and the sharpness, but I must agree with pozaru's ws: the sky isn't necessary to be shown here.
TFS!

Nice work - it has that 'scandinavian' feel to it, like the mermaid in Köpenhamn or Milles sculptures in Stockholm .... Well presented against the building and a story well told.

Hello my dear,

An interesting shot here, the reason why I said interesting is because you didn't shot it from the front, but with this shot, I can clearly see the "coppers" and what they used to transport it. :D I like the sharpness here, and of cos not forgetting the reflection, just so well captured,


Cheers,

Hello Pablo,

Lovely capture with nice colors and composition. Reflection of mountains looks nice. A different view with the reflection of the statue in the window might be another nice idea. Well seen and presented. TFS.

Nice sculpture with good color contrast, composition and sharpness. Interesting to see artwork in your gallery.

I met a couple from Sweden last week, trekking the rainforest in Sabah. Also met them at diving island resort off Semporna. They really enjoyed the trip here.

Hi Pablo

Sculpture is one of my favourite art mediums. I always think the location of the piece is just as important as the piece itself. This piece seems to be perfectly placed in a harmonious environment. Nice sharp and well composed capture. You photos make an excellent study of this place

This photo needs almost no explanation - we immediately understand that it's a scene from the old miner's Roros... The new is about this worker-writer An-Margritt... A good documentary.
