This photo gives us a better idea of the impressive scale of the work compared to Bean; and as a documentary photo it is more useful. It also solves the problems that photo had of how the buildings interact with the edges of the object. But this perspective offers less in terms of reflected material - no skylines in the background and not much texture in the sidewalks. I think it is less impactful.

The exposure and lighting are good, though my impression is that the areas outside the Bean are a little low in contrast for the amount of area they take up. It would be easy to imagine the photo could be improved by cropping a significant portion of the bottom - perhaps up to or beyond the black object on the plaza. This has the added advantage of moving the Bean out of dead center where it can look a little static. Good Luck.
