[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I did just a small amount of darking here and a very slight sharpen to compensate. This completes my (current) 'artsy' profile and will do some more nature shots shortly.

I could have also called it 'DonkeyKong' I suppose, LOL.

I have no idea where the artist got this idea but it struck me as 'Jacob's ladder' where he envisioned angels ascending/descending from heaven in the Biblical account.

Interesting picture of an interesting sculpture/artwork. To keep focus on the main topic a tighter crop (to remove some of the distractions in the background) and a border would help. I'd also avoid text in the picture itself, but thats just a personal thing.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Gary,
Welcome on TrekLens !
This is an original view. I suggest you to reduce your email on the shot.
Regards.

There was a curious psychologic film with that title. A guy who did the war and something wrong when he came back. He ad illusion!

By here we have a monument in the style i like too.. Its many stairway who make a sphere.
Good angle of presentation!

This could be playground equipment.
I really like the colours it presents.
Perhaps putting this photo more off to the side and using the rule of thirds would have made things a little more dynamic.
Look up rule of thirds on google, you'll see what I mean.
Take care,
KellEy

Interesting subject material, and good point of view. I've tried a workshop to show minor adjustments to bring out the sculpture a bit more, I hope you don't mind! Nice photo.

Interesting subject you've captured Gary,
Maybe a tighter crop and a lower POV to remove background distractions.
I like the connection to donkey kong, you just need to add a few barrels and you're there.
TFS. enjoy the rest of the weekend.
