[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A lovely piece of sculpture on Brighton beach.
It is a large bronze, doughnut shaped, ring, with the five main continents cut into it.
Lovely or not, it still doesn't stop people spraying graffiti onto it.
It is about six feet tall.

Massive close view especially in this open background. Green on blue in nature is very obvious but here the contrast is still special.
Thanks Michael

Hi Michael,

Pitty some people destroy things that are made for decorating and making the city beautiful...
Great POV! I like the fact that you've taken the photo from the scalpture's level!
Well done!

Hi Michael,

This is a great shot and I love the deep DOF. I can see many different textures in the surrounding stonework too. Excellent detailed capture.

It's a shame certain idiots get some sort of enjoyment out of writing on it and spoiling it for others (Sorry, got on my soapbox there)

Heoo Michael !

So , That is the way Brighton dock looks without the Golden treatment (^_^) !
Superb DOF and composition on your image once again , Michael!
Sad reality - Graffitis are rarely artistic !
Well done,
Robert

Great presences of this greenish Donut striucture contra the nice pier in the background. The one underlines the other.
Michael did you notice that on the top site of the green Donute there is this black 'spot-mark'
It looks likr the US/Canada/Mexico, have a close look!! Is it om purpose or just a coincidence? Good photo, compliments from Holland
John

Excellent perspective Michael and great DOF. Detail is exquisite even down to the rocks in the mid foreground. Lovely natural colours. TFS.

Hi Michael,
I must say that I was surprised seeing everything so sharp! When I checked exif everything became clear :-) Besides wonderful sharpness on all layers, there is wonderful composition there. I love how you set up this scene. Peaceful colours add the mood. Great contrast between the doughnut, the water and terribly wonderful sky! Great work Michael!
