Very painterly.

I find it fascinating to take a picture of an object that is linked to person unknown and later do some research into their history.

One anecdote sticks in my mind when he took his students up to a mountain ridge before dawn. Watching the sun appear he told them to remember the sun is stationary and we are on a massive spaceship rotating in space, and to feel themselves literally moving towards the sun.

At first look I thought that sculpture had been painted in digitally, with the halo being an artefact of the process... But the second version brought me back to reality. On closer look, and beyond the boldness of the colours, what I find interesting is how the 'bubble' shapes of the building echo the lefthand plants' curves, while the righthand plants' jagged spikes recall the gardener's hair and general angularity. The standoff between the curves and spikes is what makes the image work for me. I suppose any sky would make do, but the subject is not there, so perhaps a clear one (or with a cloud or two)?
Wow. you looked further into the image than I did At first look I thought that sculpture had been painted in digitally, with the halo being an artefact of the process...

I will start a new thread with the original, and a plainer sky as you suggest.

The new Flickr management realised that they were running at a loss as the site wasn’t conceived as a cloud storage site but that is what many used it for, so I guess that is the reason for incremental increases.
I just checked Dropbox, it is £95.88/year for 2 TB and double that for 3 TB, so unless you do a lot of sharing in comparison Flickr is good value.
I have used Flickr for years. You are correct the new management discovered it was a loss-making enterprise and made many changes. Gone is the very slow loading for example.The new Flickr management realised that they were running at a loss as the site wasn’t conceived as a cloud storage site but that is what many used it for, so I guess that is the reason for incremental increases.

If you want to store full sized images and be able to share them easily it is a great site. If you want a cheap option with stripped exif, and low res images there are plenty to choose from.
