Photographer's Note
As well as I promised yesterday here another shot taken into the Tarot Garden.
This sculpture represent the card of THE DEATH and it is part of a series of smaller sculpures strewn into the park (some scultures are monumental and you can also enter inside or walk through them).
If you want an introduction about the Tarot Garden look at this photo (there is also the link to the official website).
About this sculpture and this shot:
I like very much the way Niki de Saint Phalle represent also disturbing figures...always colourful. As well as she would say (but this is only my opinion) that nothing is how it appears. So even "The Death" or "The Devil" are capable to attract you as well as a bad person entices a child with a candy.
For this reason I tryed to make this shot full of colors and I putted a white frame instead of a black one that would have underlined the colors better. I want confuse your ideas with a colourful image when you look at the preview to discover than that we are talking about death.
In any case...the debate is open!!!
(I hope I was able to say what I wanted. My english is not so good...sorry for any mistake and, please, use a little bit of fantasy to understand me!)
Ah! I nearly forgot! I posted in a Workshop a detail of the Death's face, quite interesting in my opinion.

I like the colours and the jaunty angle, which works well here. If anything the workshop photo is even more dramatic as well as informative.
It reminds me a lot of Gaudi's mosaics in Barcelona.

Buon Giorno Elena,
I got distracted by the link you posted and never finished the critique I started yesterday. You did a great job of framing and capturing this photograph - it's really much better than any of the pictures posted at the link because you carefully framed this to avoid conflict with other figures, the angle give a dynamic feel and your sharpness and colors are better (especially the sky).
SAG, Pat

Hi elena,
This image is sharp and its colours seem very natural.
