Metal Abstract

Comments, ratings appreciated on metal abstract--shot this just

before sunset.

I like a lot the way the pieces of metal are stitched together and how the difefrent angle of the light gives each of them a different tone.

Even more so, I like the absence of any sense of scale and reference. In this respect,

I think this would be ways more prowerful if you were to remove everything that is on the left hand side and concentrate on the irregular, stitched, lattice to the right. I might imagine a square crop, for instance.

 

By the way, I wonder what this looked like in the original colours.

Salvatore, here's the original scan of the b&w negative with just a bit of levels adjustment.

Here's a different crop.

And yet another

What a terrific sculpture! The hard seemingly inflexible material, cut into geometric shapes has been assembled in a way to give it an organic shape. Like Salvatore, I like that your composition of this lacks a sense of scale or context. I prefer this toned vs. straight b&w. I think my preferred composition is the last one you posted (crop iii) It's most effective at drawing my eye to the organic, or slightly sensual curve.

Thanks, Laurie. Your keen eye is always appreciated.

For abstraction, it is crop II. But crop III makes me also think of Metropolis...

 

When I meant colours I meant, uh, colours... did you only shot this B&W?

Yes, it was shot on black and white film. The structure is plain metalic, so there wouldn't be much color.
