Great textures and colors and as a bonus nice refection.

Quite the attention getter! the background mirrored building adds instead of detracts from the sculpture. Well caught!

Thanks for the kind comments. This one was a toughie! There was always something I liked about this sculpture, but I just couldn't capture it. I tried different lenses, angles, and lighting conditions, but nothing seemed to work. This 100mm zoom shot is as close as I could get to what I wanted to capture. Tomorrow's pic of a part of this sculpture maybe does it better--but it's still elusive!

Oooh I like the design as well as the texture and placement of this on the dark background Brian. What a unique sculpture. Is there a story to this piece?

This is one post-modern sculpture you got in Indiana. Good work nice lighting. I guess it was made this was so one can see "C" from any angle.

Janice--The sculpture is called "Three in One." It was created by an Ohio artist called Philip Thompson in 1989-90 on a commission from a local investment company. The triskellion symbol is, of course, very old and can be found in the artifacts of a number of ancient cultures. More familiarly today, it's found in the 3-legged symbol for the Isle of Man (a small, beautiful island in the Irish Sea).

This is a great capture and well-composed. Quite the interesting story behind it, too. Bravo, Brian!

Oh, and given the shape and material and location, I am sure that different times of day and different lighting situations must create whole different kinds of images. Maybe to the extreme. What a great subject.

Viewfinder--the sculpture does indeed change dramatically depending on the weather and lighting conditions. The surface has almost a prismatic effect because of the way it is machined and polished--and that makes it very difficult to capture. Tomorrow's pic is a much closer shot of the sculpture and the subtleties of the finish as much more apparent. Thank you for the kind words.

What a wonderful piece of modern art! I think the glass behind the sculpture accents the detail of the workmanship. The lighting is perfect and captured the flow and curves of the sculpture.
