Skydivers Statue on Atrium Lawn at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California.
This graceful bronze sculpture of three figures posed on 27 ft. concrete columns was inspired by circus aerialists and commissioned by Aristides Demetrios in 1967, the year Fashion Island opened.

The metal surface of the figures looks sort of wrong to me. Don't know if it's the metal itself. I'm suspecting it was the "fill light" setting (or its equivalent) you'd have had to turn right up to bring detail out of the figures against the sky.
I can see what you were going for and I appreciate the OOB thinking, but it doesnt work too much for me. I cant really make out the details on the statues, which takes a lot out of the shot IMO. Good attempt though.
