Great B/W Night picture!! I always love night shot, and in your B/W it looked really nice.. Just wondering, where were you in that reflection? It's a little bit difficult for me to see you there..
Mantap dah pokoknya!! ;)

Len Leyba Thank you for your compliment on my photo. Your question about where I am standing is a good one. In the buildings reflection, there is a building with a bright diamond shaped top. If you let your eye go down that building to its ground level, just barely to the left of that corner of the building, just below the reflections of the line of bright lights, is the corner of the concrete walking area around 'The Bean'. You can see this concrete area reflected of course in the lower half of 'The Bean'. I am crouched very low, with the camera on a tripod, in that very corner. The shot was taken late at night and there were no other persons around. Due to the curvature of 'The Bean', even though I am actually close to it, you cannot see me in the reflection at this particular scale reproduction of my photo. Terima kasih!

Ah you did it!
Like it very much and the reflection is so sharp.

Len Leyba Again, thank you for your original comments on this scene when I posted it for critique only. Without helpful suggestions like your, it would not have made it to this point. Again, thank you.

Ursula I Abresch 3 years ago

You did this one just right. The way the bean gets lost at top left into the blackness, the lights shining through underneath, everything adds to the scene. Beautiful!

Len Leyba Thank you so much! Blending of the night sky into the 'Bean' was an important part of the image as well for me. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

terrific take on a much-photographed sculpture--this is extraordinary!

Len Leyba Thank you very much. Originally I thought it quite risky to photograph something that another artist created. But fortunate for me, the elements came together to make the scene unique and different.

As I said in screening; This is a subject that many people have photographed but this is a very effective & original treatment.

Len Leyba Thank you for the compliment. It is a popular object for to photograph. I think going there late at night when no one was around to distract my study of it helped me get to this final composition.
