I Love those things. Those who worked on those sculptures are awesome, and those who take their pictures for us to remember, are awesome too :P

Just wonderful, DJ - think how stiff those two models would have been after posing for this sculpture :) Have a lovely weekend!

The post processing is excellent. They are quite the contortionists aren't they.

.. i like the recoloring you did here, and am a big fan of it.. well executed! .. nicely seen.. 'the wheel of life'... you know, there's an old filipino proverb with that same title : "if you're on the bottom - poor, hopeless, down - the wheel of life will turn, and eventually you will be on top.... and vice versa " ... .. so, i wonder if this sculture is related to that idea ..... nonetheless, a fine shot, brother .

Great vantage point from which you captured this to highlight the weaving of the man and woman's arms and legs. Interesting effect the weather elements have had on the sculpture creating the "running" drip marks on the arms and legs.

It must have been a hugely difficult sculpture/casting to make, your shot dj shows the complex design very well. Beautiful color tones and the perspective is great.

This perfectly matches your landscape shots, the tones are exquisite and very delicate.

Not easy to take that sculpture like the 2 people inside in an uncomfortable position. Good job!

beautiful artwork, quite interesting. I think this is similar to Taoism's "Yin Yang", a combination of positive and negative energy :)
