Hi Ben,

I really like statues at openair. The blue sky always gives a nice contrast with the statue. This one is very reaslistic. Lovely colors and depth.

Hello Benjamin - I really like this strange image, it is rather surrealistic with the foreground figures commanding so much attention visually and seeming completely at odds with the background location. The sky too has a strange quality. I think you POV makes this composition work. Very good image. best regards Rosemary

Bonsoir Benjamin,
Vigeland parc est un bel endroit pour les photographes, j'ai poste quelques photos.
Tu as bien rendu l'esprit du parc par ton choix : la vie du sculpteur et de sa famille.

Les nuages donnent toute la profondeur a ton cadrage

Hello Benjamin,

I am happy to see this an unusual perspective on Vigeland Park. I've visited the place only once, but it has remained vivid in my memory. Your note is informative, and complements the package well.

Warm regards,

Bulent
