Detail of Mark di Suvero sculpture at the Cantor Museum, Stanford campus. This detail is from inside one of three highly polished red I-Beams that hold up a metal sculpture. Placed the Canon S50 inside one of the I-beams, pointed it towards the apex where it reflected the blue sky. The nicely placed specks at the apex are shadows and they just showed up.

The angle and the perspective are really neat.

Interesting near-abstract shot. Such images, I think, depend for most of their effect on compositional ideas (and not necessarily simple ones), and i think this desn't quite do enough for me: the various balances throughout seem a touch off - colour, and shape ... I think it's far too heavily dominated by that grand flat dimpled plane running from bottom to top, which releggates the other angles and shapes to incidental elements, rather than encouraging the eye to depart and return from what must be the central 'subject' - the primary visual component - of the image. The inevitable phenomenon of leading lines with such a blatant use of the challenge idea invokes compositional phenomena that simply can't be so easily dismissed: when there's nothing else, our eyes will follow as they are lead. Here, that is just too close to the edge of frame for them not to fall over, out of this world, and on to the next image. You don't entrap me here, though you nearly could. 6
