Ya know ... I had this one in our infamous voting booth, and meant to come by and place some words.

I think it is either a question of for the viewer ... that they are intrigued and like it ... or not. Quite simply and bluntly put.

Count me in on those that are intrigued. :o)

The only thing I can think of to kick this one up a few notches would be to add some light play into the image. Annnnd ... watch that one area; upper right that is somewhat overexposed.

Don't know if this is accessible to you. But, some experimentation with different camera heights, perspectives ... might yield some interesting shots. Perhaps, looking for the lines of the sculpture to mimic it's surroundings to tie it in? If possible?

It's a cool shot. I like it.

EDIT: It just struck as I was about to leave ... the wall and window against the back ... now that looks interesting to my eyes. So, come around to the right with your camera and shoot that wall/window more head on.

I like the monochromatic look of that wall too ... simplifies the complexities of the visuals of the sculpture and for the viewer.
Again, just some thoughts.

Yes, very difficult to capture such a large piece of hanging sculpture in an uncontrolled interior space.
Perhaps, pulling back (if that was an option)to give a better perspective of the size would have helped (I understand you get quite a bit of extemporaneous clutter doing this).More the fault of the architect or museum designer.
It is really a lesson in futility. lol

However, please continue your attempts at capturing works of art. We have too little art in our disposable society.
The more art we create and preserve the greater our understanding and tolerance of each other as individuals.

Interesting sculpture...I don't know the environment it is in, but I agree with the comment about maybe standing back and also adjusting your angle slightly. Or experiment with different angles seeing which one is best (in future). But still good effort though!

Wow it is huge! Angles are sometimes tricky. I would do as Skisy suggests and experiment with angling next time!

Interseting. The light is a little flat. As is the angle of the shot. The suject looks interesting enough...might I suggest maby getting a little higher and taking the shot downwards. Or possibly taking the shot on a brighter day, to gain some more colour.
