Hope you enjoy it

That's cool. Where is it?

Great choice of subject, A tighter crop would improve this a lot. IMHO

This is in Washington DC's National Harbor, it's right in front of the "Peeps" store down the steps.

I agree with 'oldhippy' in that a tighter crop would make this nice, however I can't help but like the light flare on the right hand side.. Maybe trim the left?

I have to disagree here. The brightness is too distracting for me and not really integral to the composition (apart from being a source of light).
A cool, if a bit disturbing, sculpture.

What's the idea behind this sculpture ?

Yeah the little piece of concrete to the left could have been removed with cloning. I did this picture this morning at 3am, so I wasn't awake to realize it was still there.

I do like that light, as it's the "spot light" to the sculpture.

Love the ideas and discussion.

It's called "The Awakening" - The Awakening (sculpture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Love that sculpture, if I am not mistaken, it was a haines point park, in DC for a while. Have yet to make it over to the harbor, need to catch the water taxi over one afternoon.

Cool shot, I am so glad that that sculpture is still local! I missed getting shots of it. The light in the right is a bit distracting, I would also crop out the little bit of grey paving on the left as well.

Here's a quick edit, hope you don't mind.
