First Place
Adam after the Rain
by Ann Chaikin

Bellingham, WA

He isn't wet but he is covered with dried drops of water... so "Adam after the Rain." This is my favorite sculpture in the Big Rock Garden Park, a sculpture garden in Bellingham. (This is a repost. The other looked like it needed sharpening a bit so I did and reposted. I also copied the original comments and put them here.)


other sizes: small medium large original auto

I know you have had feedback on this photo and given it a lot of thought. Personally I find the textural contrast between the background and the statue visually satisfying.

Thank you all. I like this one very much myself. ;) Ann

It's a very interesting statue and you capture him with a very good angle. It's a good one Ann! Antoine

I'm interested by bezucho's observation. My take is a bit different. Adam belongs in nature so the dof makes him more at one with it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fremiet

BW colorspace is really working great here. I also like the object selection and its positioning in the frame. However I think i bit shallower DOF would be more suitable. But I still like the immage as it is. bezucho
