SKYWATCH--The Victor, explained

I've shown you this statue in Kalemegdan Park several times, but I liked the contrast with the transparent explanation sign shown here. The statue is one of the most famous works of the well-known (now deceased) Croatian sculptor, Ivan Mestrovic. You can read a bit more about The Victor here.

See more skies on SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

Well, that's a beautiful blue sky! I liked the explanation of how they placed the statue—seems appropriate.

Very elegant and the transparency is quite appropriate.

Ivan Mestrovic did a famous sculpture of the first king of Romania (Carol I). Unfortunately, that sculpture was destroyed (it was melted to make a sculpture of Lenin) during communist regime..

Nice. I always enjoy interesting juxtaposition of elements!

Louis la Vache said...

In a similar vein to what Chuck wrote, the juxtaposition of elements with the weight of the image being to the right side makes for a fine composition.

CROSS-CULTURE BREAKFAST

  Have been in India one week. I brought my hostess some ajvar, which she found goes very well on a chapati.
