"Art Break"

"Art Break"

The Milwaukee Art Museum

Milwaukee, Wisconsin ~ USA

The Milwaukee Art Museum is a very interesting building both inside and outside. It looks like a sailing ship. At noon time a sail emerges and folds out over structures that resemble sailing ship masts. They have sensors built into the system so if there are high winds the sail will not emerge. Of course there were high winds on my visit. Oh well, next time.

This lady appeared to be taking a break from enjoying the beautiful art.

All comments are welcome.

Interesting work Tex. Too bad about the sails not being out. I am not so sure about the composition. I like the intrigue you are introducing with cropping off the top of the woman, but I think then you want her reflection to be complete to fill in the image. Anyway, that's my thinking on this.

Interesting comp but as Jim pointed out having the whole reflection would have filled in the comp a little more. Lots of interesting intersecting lines in this scene so I can see why you were looking for a shot.

Jim, Thanks for your thoughts. The I beam prevents her complete reflection from being seen. To get that in the shot, I would have to be shooting practically a portrait shot of her. My goal was to show architectural elements of the building and include the person on the bench for some scale. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
