Close Up - Tony Cragg: Photon

This is an image taken more close up to the sculpture 'Photon' made of stainless steel by Tony Cragg. It looks more futuristic / surreal but I think it helps to see the whole sculpture

While I find your subject matter very interesting and eye catching I'm not convinced your approach to photographing it does it any favours. I realise you are using Delta 3200 shot at 1600 and in very poor lighting all which leads to very stark images lacking in any sutblety, but maybe this is the way you wanted to show it? I have googled the subject and seen other approaches to photographing it which I found more viewer friendly. But of course this is but my opinion and should not be taken as the final verdict.
 
Thanks Vincent for your comment! In fact I came to this sculpture only at the end of my visit in the 'Skulpturenpark' when it was almost dark. So the use of Delta 3200 at 1600 was given by the circumstances. But for this particular sculpture with its straight shape I actually found this presentation more interesting than pictures I googled for the same sculpture taken in daylight. It is interesting to see your different opinion. - Other scuptures with more dramatic shapes themselves indeed look very good in daylight. I have now uploaded two examples of these taken in color too.
