Another from my trip to Chicago last week. This is a corner of the Anish Kapoor sculpture titled the Cloud Gate (the polished steel on the left); with a regular skyscraper on the right. The whole sculpture looks like an enormous seed pod. I may post a picture of it as a variant.

As shown in V2 it's a beautiful but familiar sight here. V1 is something else, suggestive, enigmatic, mysterious. I really covet this one, photographing sculpture is an art in its own right as this demonstrates.

Many thanks all, especially Moira for those comments.

Version one for me Smile

Great play of lines and nice tones.

I think you can exploit further the "cloud". The form of the buildings reflected on it looks surreal. Look at it in a tighter crop excluding the skyscraper.

Congratulation RobboB.
