Man v. Monolith or 2001 Revisited

Towards the end of my visit to SFMOMA today, I was able to catch a shot of this guy walking by one of the outdoor pieces. I immediately thought of the apes jumping around the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Here's my tribute to that slap happy group of...apes.

Your design training shows on this composition, pure colors of the subjects, the sculpture and the man in the jet black suit really stand out against the grey, industrial surrounding. It's a very nice composition and a well captured moment. The man's gaze directs our eye to the sculpture. :)

Thanks. You're right, Warren, my design training does show. I didn't see it till you said something.

Thanks Lea. Yep, I was in the College of Environmental Design at the Univ of Colorado at Boulder from 1977 - 1980. I knew when I was beat, so I then majored in psychology. Now I work with computers. Go figure.
