Hi there,
Just my humble opinion..
Before even comments on the photo itself...
Perhaps we should ask why do we compose the photo this way?
Botero is known for the 'SCALE' of his works, your composition definately made this sculpture small...considering that this actual piece is abt 2m tall?
If it's some form of 'creative expression',then those wordings shouldn't be there? What do u tink?
Ahhh firestone good pt good pt...
Actually I had a reason why I composed it like this. If ya walk ard the esplanade area, there are many of botero's sculptures here and there. The one i took is probably more interesting bcos of it's location: it is situated right at the grand entrance of the esplanade. Now what's the reason for putting it there? Hmmm, in my opinion, it's bcos the grand entrance environ engages you toward the sculpture... the grandeur of the entrance, the two liu-lians (i mean the roof of the esplanade) at the side.
Similarly in the composition i try to draw the viewer toward the sculpture: the lines on the floor toward the sculputre, and the two liu-lians at the side.
But yes, it didn't come across to me that size was something Botero also wanted to portray... ahhh so pt noted
