Boy With Frog

"Boy with frog" is a sculpture in white steel of the LA based artist

Charles Ray. It's prominently situated on the very tip of the Punta della

Dogana, exactly where the Grand Canal, the Giudecca Canal and the

San Marco basin converge, and it was placed here at the beginning of

June for the opening of the new exhibition center at the Dogana.

 

I took this picture at dawn at the beginning of December. It had been

rainy all the day and the night before, but the sky finally broke just in

time for putting on stage one of the best sunrise I have ever witnessed.

Your C&C are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for your

time.

This is a stitch of 8 vertical frames, covering a field of view of nearly

180°. No need to say that the larger version is a must see...

Excellent technique Paolo! Great exposure and composition, too.

This is an excellent effort , Paolo! The strong composition ,the fg sculpture , the magic light and the landmarks of Venice make for an unbeatable combination. Compliments and reagrds, Chris

Ottimo ed originale punto di vista, colori al solito favolosi...7/7! Salutoni

I think the whole composition works very well, the stark contrast between the modern sculpture looking across the water at the old traditional buildings and with that stunning sunset in between putting the icing on the cake!

a lot of effort that has really paid off!

 

Kind Regards
