Firstly, a big thankyou to Lillian for favouring my "Poppies Sculpture" with her User Award.
I am staying with the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens "Art In The Garden" Exhibition.
This one is by the same artist who did the poppies, Steve Blaylock, and priced the same (£4,650), and again in stainless steel, which is highly reflective
! I spent a lot of time waiting for the sun to go behind clouds.
The sky was quite nice, but it was difficult to avoid all the trees. In some ways they add interest, in other ways they become intrusive.
3 versions for you. Again, I just couldn't decide which one to lead with.
"Art in the Garden is a selling exhibition, and is a wonderful opportunity to buy a unique piece of art for your home or garden. The exhibition features a range of local, British and International artists working in many materials from wood, glass, recycled materials, cold cast bronze, stainless steel to ceramics and marble resin. The great range of sculpture on display creates a dynamic exhibition with over 100 works of art on show."
Pamela.

V1 - Love the angle! It's dynamic, alive. And these really need to be seen in a garden context.
Moira
I'm also going with v1 - I like the inclusion of the almost parallel diagonal lines - it works well as a composition 
Helen
All great shots Pamela but I think v1 is my favourite
Wonderful artwork, Pamela - love 'em! A well captured set, and think I'd have uploaded in the same order 
Trev
Another stunning shot from Hillier's Pamela. Only sorry I went at the wrong time. I'll have to look at their calendar for a possible next one. Can't decide between 1 and 3. For me they're both fabulous images. Don
Think I should get some of these - maybe then my agapanthus would know what's expected of it!
Nice set of images,
Johanna
Difficult one, Pamela. One the one hand the trees add context, yet at the same time disturb the clean and sharp lines of the sculptures.
V1 for the context and v3 for the cleaner aspect.
Malc
Stunning images. So hard to choose between them. The light bouncing of them is amazing. Well done! 
I've heard of steel magnolias before but not steel agapanthus! V3 slightly edges it as there are no distracting tree branches getting in the way. I'm sure Mikbee would enjoy this lot were he here to view them as there are specks of rust starting to appear on the petals!
