Le Cri (Rodin)

very intense. I love the white background, it makes the person much more "in your face".

much credit to the sculptor.

In this case, I've fiddled with the colors, to give a blood-red edge

to the sculpture, and obviously, taken away the background to produce

a more stark effect...comments?

Standard photo of an excellent sculpture. Shadows are a bit dark, and I almost feel a black background would be more striking.

As to the ethics question- no problem if you acknowledge the fact. I suppose Rodin would have been flattered that you wished to photograph his work. I'm supposing that some of these guys based their sculptures on other art work, too, for that matter.
