“The Bean” (Cloud Gate)

The Bean - Millennium Park - Chicago, IL, USA
I got to make it back to Millennium Park this afternoon where I shot a different model about a year ago. The Bean of course is one of the signature art pieces in the park and is nearby the Frank Gehry designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion. This was just a ‘where’s waldo’ style shot I took underneath since I really love the flow of how the scene shifts as you walk and stare upwards. Since I had a wide angle it worked better this time. I kinda wish I had a fisheye to see how crazy the image could have looked – next time!
