Is it sculpture, Tom?

Yes. I guess you could call it that. There are these twin arches that cross the street at intervals in a shopping area called the Galleria here in Houston. I guess since it serves no functional purpose, you can call it sculpture.

Looks very sci-fi-cool. Well composed with beautiful colors.

Tom:

Sorry to be a naysayer, but I find the bottom strip of the image busy and distracting. I wonder what it would look like if you cropped out the tree trunks and what looks like a sign at the left. It would simplify the image and might lose sense of scale dictated by that detail. But that's just my opinion.

Overall, though, I like the idea, and deep blue sky is a real plus.

All the best,
Rich

Thanks for the input, Rich. I cropped it a lot tighter per your suggestion.I guess if you are going to go abstract, you might as well go all the way.

For reference, here is the original version everyone else was commenting on (prior to this post).
