I object strongly when they are photographed "in perfect light" to see it in all details, removed from any context and ready to be plopped in a catalogue. |
That's what I have always wanted to say about photographs of statues, but until now I could never think of how to say it. Thank you. |

| Emerging from black oil, you presented this sculpture well. I like to include information about the piece when shooting art. |

I think photographing sculpture is fine, and probably no different from photographing architecture, or for that matter, a horse or a dog. You still have to choose your angle and make the most of the ambient light (if you aren't providing your own.) I think this is a totally different kettle of fish than shooting a painting or a wall of graffiti (without anything to give it an individual twist).
I like the dark and contrasty tones here and the lost and found aspects. |

| I too raise objections to photos of sculpture, but this one does have great shadows on it and silhouettes of leaves which add interest. It's well composed, too. |

| all that inky blackness really serves to accentuate the subject, offset composition works well |

| I really like the dark tones. This could be a movie still for one of those 1930s movies set in China. |

| A case of 'don't do as I do, do as I say' ;) Under exposed works well here for me. |
