50mm SOOC at Last - Flamingo!

This is the Calder sculpture -- one of several outdoor sculptures that are throughout Chicago. Taken with the 50mm SOOC in mind. The sculpture's name is Flamingo.

[Osia Strasner]

Oh, good, it's still there!! :-)) It used to be one of my favorite sculptures in the city! You have it perfectly positioned and set off against the repetitive black fenestration of the building.

Interesting sculpture, love the colour of it.

[Iris]

Love Calder! It looks great in front of the black building. Wonder if it's the same as the one in NYC

[Graeme Stevens]

Very cool sculpture, great shot

[Elizabeth]

Great combination of art and architecture! Perfect shot for the challenge!

[Suse♡]

How extraordinary piece of art, there´s indeed something flaminco like in it and it looks really great against the dark glass.

[Marnie]

Well done with the nifty fifty. What a fantastic piece of public art, so colourful and visually engaging. I really like the shot and the sculpture too.

[Gena Pegg]

A very beautiful abstract Flamingo. The color is certainly right ...beautiflly creative art! Lovely composed shot also.

[Sue Wilde]

What fabulous colour

[Shanne]

great colour and capture, great SOOC

[Louise & Ken]

Oh, wonderful! I never knew the name of that one! The title is too fanciful for me to wrap my head around it, but I'll go with the graceful lines...

[Margaret Obey]

Love the lines of the sculpture, the pop of red. I think I should add Chicago to my bucket list seeing your great shots Taffy

[Maggiemae]

Its very striking being that red! Red would be better than the usual pink flamingo colour. I'm not sure I can see a flamingo in this but its probably all in the mind of which I don't have much!

[Eric di Bosco]

Fantastic SOOC: great exposure and wise to get the dark building as background. I do need quite a lot of imagination to see the "Flamingo", but that has nothing to do with your photograph!
Very interesting challenge: the 50mm SOOC - I haven't used my 50mm lens in ages...perhaps a reason to dig it out again!

[Beryl Lloyd]

At first glance I thought it to be a gymnast !! but yes it does comply with the title well !!

[Joan Robillard]

It reminds me of my lady in red metal sculpture. Though I doubt that was done by this artist. How do you decide you want to sculpt with great big pieces of metal?

[Jan Rose]

Impressive sculpture, love the colour, nice shot.

[Eve Pulsater]

That is lovely

[Francoise]

my favorite one. nice.

[Danny G.]

[megan]

Nice and no people! Good timing

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous!

[Rachel]

What a great sculpture, fabulous shot and contrast

[Penny Price]

Very cool sculpture. Great shot. Fav.

[Alison Tomlin]

I do like this sculpture. It makes a great contrast with the imposing brown of the building behind.

[Janiskay]

Cool sculpture. That pinky red flamingo looks great against that black thing as a background.

[Harry J Benson]

great

[Kathie]

Perfect time of day and lighting with the dark background and vibrant red.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I knew it was Calder before I read the caption. But I didn't know it was a flamingo! Nice capture.

[Sandy]

Love that bright pop of red.

[Marg Budd]

Neat sculpture. Wonderful red lines, that contrast well with the building. You did a great job of capturing it.

[Linda C]

Great image. I like how you have positioned the vibrant sculpture. Perfect exposure for SOOC and would look good in SC too.

[Elaine]

Fantastic pop of red! Are you allowed to photograph works of art at your camera club as we aren't allowed over here as they are someone else's art work. We are talking about challenging the judges next year by having a set subject of Sculptures, bridges and street art!

[Nina Ganci]

very interesting sculpture Taffy. you have done it justice! The bold red is brilliant
