Woah, behold, the giant bean has landed! What an interesting sculpture?? And I hope those guys arent cleaning the windows (would definately not be my first choice in a job...).

Thanks for sharing.

Love the reflections that the wet sidewalk and pavement yield.

I like the story number three tells and love the angles of both the building and the people who appear to be rappelling.

My favorite is number two though. Just love the mood you've set with the lighting, the reflections on the road and the framing from a line of trees on one side, and a line of buildings on the other. Add some fog for mystery and you've got a great photograph.

Great composition and crisp detail Hayward.

A winner in my books

Hayward, in that 1st shot, I like how I can't decide whether the sculpture is 50 meters across or 50 millimeters. It tricks my eye. And that last shot, oh my, when I saw it I got exactly the same feeling as when I am approaching a corner on a heavy lean and then all of a sudden I see a great patch of oil that I cannot avoid. Frighteningly awesome. PAUL

That is all amazing captures Hayward. The first one got me thinking what is it? the second is nicely done in composition (leading the lines). and the last is a great timing action shot. Thanks for sharing my friend.
