Neat! So many repeats, vanishing points, leading lines...

Cool.

When I saw this sculpture I thought I was going to get so many really cool shots.
It was actually quite difficult to capture something interesting to look at.
I tried shallow DoF, deep DoF, long lens, wide(ish) angle. You could walk around the whole thing, but there were windows on one side, and the Nike store everywhere else.

I took 20-30 different shots, and this is the strongest in my mind.
I was disappointed.

Yeah, I can see that. Part of the challenge is the surrounding background, and you can see that almost any view of/through the sculpture will still end up showing the mundane background. I think your choice of vantage point is very good - you've managed to obscure the "mall" and make the patterns more prominent. I'm wondering if an UWA lens focusing on the closeup edge elements and then a middle-ish DOF (around f/5.6) would allow you to emphasize the pattern while making the background less prominent?

Pretty interesting I like this

Nice try but my eyes are drawn right through to the background.

 

[bribrius]

do you have any shots of the sculpture, just a simple snapshot? i am curious to see it.

 

[Austin Greene]

This gives me a headache...I like it.

There are so many different 3 dimensional views if you just look at one part of the image, definitely a picture that has held my attention for a while. I'd say one of the strongest images posted on this site in a while.

Was going to nominate for photo of the month for April, but the thread for nominations hasn't been created yet
