Challenge:Calendar (Advanced Editing II) Camera:Canon EOS-10D Location: Borg á Mýrum, W Iceland Date: Nov 7, 2004 Aperture: 4 ISO: 400 Shutter: 1/400 Date Uploaded: Nov 7, 2004
An unusual subject, given interest by the snow lying on it. The buildings in background are a bit distracting, the mountain is ok but the light is a bit flat from this angle. I don't know what was around to the left but it seems that the warm light is being reflected from the other side of the art work and that would have produced a better shot. As I said I don't know what was in the background but that's where the light is. Well done though, a six from me.
something about the composition is throwing me off.... I feel like it should either be closer up almost sihluette like or a bit farther back. and I would have liked something to balance the yellow on the right.
It's an interesting shot but I'm not sure what to say about it. I like the light dusting of snow on the sculpture - the white contrasts nicely with the black and it is almost like it is adding accents to the curves and details. The mountain backdrop is stunning and works well to lead the eye down to the horizon, although that appears to be slightly tilted. The muted colors except for the splash of yellow near the horizon line adds to the chilly feel of the shot.
