Description
This is a shot looking up one of the numerous legs of the Alexander Caulder, (American, 1898-1976), sculpture "Flamingo". This bright red 50 ton, 53 foot tall steel sculpture was erected in Chicago's Federal Plaza in 1974, and is but one of many public art instalations in the city. Chip and I were photo-navigating downtown on April 17, 2010 when I snapped this photo.

This looks almost like selective coloring, and it's not. I like it all the more because of that and because it's so nicely abstract. What a flamingo! It has more legs than the average flamingo, which just lets me know that tropical bird life in Chicago (aside from being metal) is rather odd. I remember the day we took shots of this thing, and I recall the Chinese-food followup! We definitely need to do that again, and as for this shot...I love the POV. You give a nice sense of the size of this thing! I like this a lot.

Quite an engaging perspective!

This is very nicely dramatic! LOVE the pov. I like the sense of scale you get, standing at the bottom looking up. It's somehow TALLER that way than seeing it from a distance! Excellent image (and the title is great)!

I like the contrast of the triangular red shape against the skyscraper. That's a really cool photo.

And I always thought that this was a Picasso. Wonderful POV to catch the critical info. Dana

I like the way he did his initials. Great POV. I like way the eye travels up past the angles of the signature to the sharp point of the sculpture. Excellent color and composition.
