I've seen lots of photos of this artwork, but
this is one of the more creative angles - and
skyblue is one of my favourite colours -
excellent!!

Hi it looks a lot like a picture I made in
Prague last summer! Only this wasn't art but
a police station :-)
I like the roundline in yours very much!

I thought it was photoshopped when I saw the
thumbnail. That is a really spectacular
effect from a "natural" photo.

I must say that when I saw the picture on the
thread it was only a photoshop effect. I read
the comment and I like the idea of the
super-realistic picture without PS (did you
edit it at all ?). Nothing wrong with the
defender's shot though, but I just prefer
this one.
...ooops, came back to fav'...

I like this photo, it's clean and crisp, but
the defender seems so very unusual and
original that I can't bear to see it go.

I just love the "horizon" of the
reflected area and where it intersects with
the sky. Very well seen ancawonka!

I think we can "improve" real life,

The defender is an extremely unique photo.
The original colours , subject matter and
technicals make it very strong. Yours is also
quite good. I think for a shot such as this,
it would be best to clone out anything other
than the blue and clouds...theres some twigs
in the lower right that I noticed right away.
there has been a miscount...with my vote of
'noneof' the actual count is:
noneof100#4

Your picture was the first one I saw that
just showed the sky with clouds and its
reflection -- that's why I clicked through to
look more closely. Really nice.

Wow, that's an amazing shot of Cloud Gate!
Out of curiosity, do you happen to know
what ISO speed your camera took the photo at?
Under the photo properties, it says it was
set to auto, but I'm wondering if you have
some way of knowing.

Wow! Nice pics! Congratulations for your
creativity and sensibility!
If I am not wrong this is a sculpture from
Anish Kapoor. You should add it to this pool:www.flickr.com/groups/anishkapoor/
By the way, I came here after your comment
in one of my pics (answering to your
question).

Love your shot of The Bean. Such serenity in

about Chicago!

Chicago, like many grand cities that are more
than 100 years old, has figured out how to
make dense urban living work for people. I
love visiting there.

Great eye for noticing this reflecton.
I was immediately drawn to the thumbnail
from "most interesting" set. I saw
your comments on a Utata discussion thread
(this evening) as well as your comments on
the photo of discussion....thought your
comments were interesting and decided to pay
a visit.

I have a love affair with the Bean too...
this is a fantastic shot - very unique and
very appropriate.
I found it by doing a search for Chicago
and sorting by "Interestingness" -
you were on page 2 or 3.

Just visited Chicago and only had
time/resources to take the standard touristy
shots of The Bean. I searched for the tag
"Cloud Gate" and found your photo
near the top of the Interestingness list.
I'd like to think that if I lived in
Chicago (or spent more time there), I'd come
up with creative photos like this one. (It's
fun to pretend.)

the bean can be "all about you," in
all its convexity, reflecting the observer,
picture taker, etc. ... but it can also
"turn away from you" and reflect
the surroundings (the cityscape, buildings,
the gridded pavement of the plaza ... and of
course "clouds") ... very nice
