Description
This is a polaroid of Cloud Gate (aka "the bean") in Chicago's Millenium Park. Googled so you can see what it actually looks like.One of those photos I'd never expect to find in a busy city.

VERY unique and expressive way of capturing this subject. I love the airy atmospheric sense this picture gives me when I look at it. Polaroids are some of my favorite photography pieces because they are so spontanious and can come out great just like this if you have an artistic mind. You do. Great shot

Wow, it looks like a great subject to photograph, and there's some beautiful images of it, but, this is different to anything else, almost looks like one is looking down upon the earth from above the atmosphere.

This looks really cool for a polaroid pic. Nice blue colour, but a bit too bright.

I definitely like your shot better. Usually photographs of artwork are devoid of interest as photographs, but this actually gives us a sight that simply uses the Cloud Gate to gain a whole new perspective. It looks like the earth as seen from the sky.

yeah, when i see other people's images of sculptures i really look for how they made the photo their own. glad you enjoyed it

That structure itself is a masterpiece, and I think the way you captured it makes it a totally different, and unique object.
My first thought was, "Hey, that's earth". Obviously, that's not possible, unless you're an astronaut and the sky is actually that blue in space.
This is great. I absolutely love the effect the polaroid film gives the composition. It's very airy, and light. Well done. 8)
