Look into my eyes

But, I got distracted and was looking at the skulls instead...

Last week I went to the opening of the new museum in my home city called MAS. They had an exhibition on Life and Death, with interesting art from all over the world. I liked this statue, but my 50 mm allowed me only a head shot.

That's pretty interesting. What culture is it from?

Interesting photo. I would consider cropping at the chin so that the skulls, the center of interest is right in the middle of the photo. The bottom part did not contribute to the shot, in my opinion. I hope you don't mind my candid suggestion.

Hi Dossy,

I believe it was in or just after the buddhist section.

I'm interested in what others think as well...

Very cool Creep Factor Kris! Agree with Tri about cropping out the bottom quarter to place mor emphasis on the skulls & dragons eyes. Nice idea & shot!

Perhaps best for you :smile:

Interesting shot, Kris. Perhaps a crop would indeed work better. You're alternative doesn't show, however. There must be something wrong with the link.


I plan on visiting the MAS later in the year but I was more interested in the outside - the building. Seems I'll have to go in as well :smile:

Thanks for commenting and chosing between both versions, Steve!

Cheers Allan, much appreciated!

Bart,

Can you check again, it should show as far as I can test...

The MAS is a great addition to the harbor, I love going out to shoot it and have done so way too much now

There was still something wrong with my link to the second image, sorry for that. It should display now...
