    Rafaga Unchained...

    ...is the name of this sculpture. Photo was taken in the evening just after sunset. It was slightly cropped and had minor adjustments in Lightroom. Clarity was increased and shadows selectively reduced.

    Very good shot Joe! That would be the perfect kind of take to integrate some
    spot flash… very elegant structure!

    I like the sexy look of the sail -- the sail is what I have in mind when I saw it. I guess where it is situated, the floor is supposed to be the connected to sailing. And I love the time you took this shot -- the sky complements it. Nice composition. Maybe selective lightening will help now that you have already taken the shot? Just a thought...

    Agree with the above good image that might benefit from some fill flash...

    When I see a structure like this, I often thing how interesting a shot would be using a fish eye lens laying on the ground and facing up remotely tripped... I would probably start with the camera in the center of the triangle formed by the sail and the figures but, the two figures and the sail might appear too small. I might move the camera around to various places within the triangle; perhaps at the feet of one of the figures....

    I am considering renting a fish eye someday, there are several structures in my area that I would like to shoot in this fashion. After using the fisheye, I might decide if it would be worth purchasing one....

    Yes. I didn't notice how dark the foreground was until I got it on my computer. The histogram on my camera seemed ok to me....? I tried to lighten it in post but did not want to over do it. I will try some more processing.

    Yes. I can see that. Did not see it before I got it on my computer....
