Post 12 - Butterfly & Cocoon Sculptures

I really enjoyed taking photo's of a windmill and following that, I went to my local park to photography some Butterfly and Cacoon sculptures. Whilst the sculptures themselves are very visually appealing I actually found it much harder to photograph these sculptures with a creative photographic approach. It was very difficult to portray the art as the photo itself not the sculpture being photographed. I wanted to viewer to be able to identify a artistic photographic display of the sculpture not that I'd just taken a photo to show some Butterfly Sculptures. I really had to experiment and consider composition to achieve this. By standing right underneath the sculptures or on top of playground equipment I was able to access different, non standard viewing angles, of the sculptures. By also carefully cropping out parts of the sculptures it furher demonstrates a creative vision of the sculptures. These photo's still require further enhancing in Photoshop/Raw to highlight interesting features such as the textures in the metal, the intricant screws and threads.
