Wonderful poetic image; beautifully presented . . . I confess to being drawn to photos of sculpture, and this one is certainly worthy of the attention.
Best wishes,

Excellent capture, superb clarity and presence, the two statutes that you display on your response here are truly magnificent too and quite suggestive.

Your reply to IT was cute. But there's more I want to know...where do you get your great sense of humor!!!? I'm sure he got a bang out of it. :) Lovely capture, I really enjoy the close-up and composition. It's almost as if the dancer is hanging on her own shoulder -- frozen in time -- entranced. Antonia.

I really like this one. The sculpture does, indeed, seem to be trying to hide from the light. I like how your choice of DOF has made the light appear to be sparkling and bright.

To IT:
where who what when which and so much more!
Title: Dancer (naked dancing girl)
Sculpter: Eddy Roos
Color: Bronze, dark brown
Measurements: heigth 121 cm, width 70 cm, depth, 47 cm
Year: 1983
Place: Wilhelminapark, Zoetermeer
Eddy Roos was born in 1949 in Amsterdam. He studied sculpture and theatre at the Academy of Fine Arts of Amsterdam (1965-1972, studies of sculpture and theatre ? student of Con Hund and of prof. Paul Gregoire). From the start of his career as a sculptor Eddy Roos became immensely fascinated by dance and motion, which also is expressed in his constant interest in choreography. Of great importance of his development as a sculptor were afterwards his intensive contacts with modern dancer Pauline de Groot. At the end of the seventies he began to draw in sturdy crayon-sketches his own choreography of a ballet. He interpreted the Greek word choreography literally: in hundreds of drawings from an improvising model in motion he 'described' the desired dance figures. He arranged those drawings into a motion sequence, after which his model and he danced the successive figures. This dance was then recorded photographically. In cooperation with Cultureel Centrum de Klinker in Winschoten it was possible to perform the choreography on a stage in 1981. Since then Eddy Roos had to spend all his energy on carrying out his monumental commissions and especially on the realisation of his bronze sculptures for the Verhildersum Manor.
He makes figures in all sorts of positions: dancing, squatting, bending over backwards and lying in a foetal position.
He then worked for one and a half years in Italy at the studio of Giacomo Manzu. While making models from wax he became interested in the movement potential of the human body.
In the Seventies he moved to Groningen, where he moved into an old polder school. He still lives there with a photographer, a painter, a ceramicist and a textile artist.
Oh, and let me know whether there is anything else you would like to know...

Ooops
Film Kodak T-Max 400
Film Type B&W Negative
That is something that I would do... when not looking through coloured glasses...
But maybe no one else will notice...
Ooops have I let it out of the bag?
