..and this step is so more dramatic.. when the people have their forms and their way of being, it seems really all that aspires to be united to the god.
the presence of the back is an excellent contrast to the elderly person before.
a fine cut a big sculpture that .. even the rock increases!
all the best, my friend..

The mix-up of bodies interwinding each other under the grey scales of such a timal range is surely amazing, absorbing my visual sense, Renato! The study of the sculpture was made in an extraordinarily string, pulsing way, as the plasticity of the shot resembles the very flesh of those that vibrate in their last breaths for freedom. It is hard for me to say something objective about studies of such a subject, since I will never be able to separate myself from the legacy of the 300 - I am too greek for that!
But still, your exposure balance was perfect for gettingthe subtle games of light and shadow, necessary for forming plasticity, three-dimensionality on a flat projection of reality onto an image. The string textures of the stone's surface are somewhere between physical texture and artificial film grain - congratulations for that from a film fan, that is! ;-) The details are sharp and strong with no trace of oversharpening at all, as far as a I can see.
The composition was exactly as needed for getting a partial view as a study of the whole. Indeed you recapitulated the subject by a citation of a single of its paragraphes.
Great work!
Nick

I prefer this one to the other one. You feel the texture better and the light is attractive. The fact, you composed with the back men in the middle and the old man more high present the bad feeling in face of the death. It's what i'm seeing. Good job

Mike,
here is the history:
The Vigeland Sculpture Park features several bronze and granite sculptures created by Gustav Vigeland, and it is a part of Frogner Park, located in Oslo.
At the highest point in the park lies the park's most popular attraction, The Monolith (Monolitten). The construction of the massive monument began in 1924 when Gustav Vigeland himself modeled it out of clay in his studio. The design process took him ten months, and it is speculated that Vigeland had the help of a few sketches drafted in 1919.
The Monolith towers 14.12 meters (46.32 ft) high and is comprised of 121 human figures rising toward heaven. This is meant to represent man’s desire to become closer with the spiritual and divine. It portrays a feeling of togetherness as the human figures embrace one another as they are carried toward salvation.
Best wishes,
Renato
(Thanks to wikipedia) ;-)

Interesting image! Is there a story behind this picture? I'd like to hear it. It is unusual to see statues such as this, and unfortunately I know little of Norway's history.
Creative capture, very well done!
Best of wishes.... Mike
