We spent a bit of time at Portland's Museum of Art. I was fascinated by this sculpture and hope the artist forgives my manipulation of it to create this composition.
Thanks for the kind -- though unnecessary -- comments on my shots of family. Am definitely enjoying my time with them!
What a strange sculpture. Looks like a whole series of clenched fists together yet someone thinks it looks like a seed pod.m how different all our perceptions are. Very interesting shot
I really enjoy the shapes and lines of the sculpture's upper portion and wonder what it might look like shot from above (although the museum might not be uber-excited about you hanging over their expensive sculpture to get a "unique" POV). It almost looks as if it was lit from within.
@gamelee It was a deep brown, with a sepia kind of background, behind glass so that I had limited POV to draw from. I did a bit of straightening, but mostly just used sliders to fiddle with the desaturation so that it would be almost b&w, but I wouldn't lose the red flare from the center.
