About	Anish Kapoor's sculpture has been nicknamed "the bean" but the real name is "Cloud Gate" I believe. There's always a hundred people taking a snapshot of themselves or family and friends around this. It's a kidney bean shaped piece of highly polished stainless steel. I shot this with my 20 dollar Canon Canonet QL17 then scanned the print later into PS.

Nice shot, but it would work better for me if the top of "the bean" were not cropped off.

Thanks Rafi for the nice comment. I think I have the wrong email for you as my mail came back as undeliverable. Please correct the address for me. -Mark

A beautiful view of the City of Chicago captured by you, Mark, in this distorted way. I admire your not giving in to the temptation to take your own photo reflected like the hundreds you write about.
Thank you for your warm words about my "Light and shadow 1." You were right in assuming that it was the lobby of the hotel we were staying in captured from upstairs.
Best regards,
Rafi

it must be one of the most photographed object in the city I suppose

It's a great object and a wonderful picture that creates a real "budget fisheye" effect!

Congrats
