It is a shame they don't trim the weeds under that spoon :) I like this, and I think it is well taken, but I think it might have been improved with a little wider angle to allow a bit more skyline. Good job 6.

I wish this had much better DOF. That would have really made it shine.

This subject has been submitted before, yes? Whether by you or another resident I don't know. I like this version, this approach, better, definitely. The sculpture imposes itself in frame more effectively, making a stronger and happier parallel with the buildings. The whole thing feels a little blue - like it might just be the defaul sunlight white balance. Great sesne of plasticity on the spoon.

I really like the angle you have this, with the position of the cherry situated "between" the tall buildings. Nice shot.

Very good POV. The sky looks just a bit too blue to me but still I like the photo very much.
