It’s iPhoneography Monday (or Tuesday–in my case)! Here’s my entry for the challenge hosted by Sally at Lens and Pens.
On a recent trip to the University of Michigan Medical Center, I spotted this statue in a waiting room and took a series of shots. But I’m still not sure, which image works the best–the close-up or the one at a distance. What do you think? Do you (the viewer) need to see the full image of the statue in order to fully appreciate the work? As always, I appreciate your feedback!

Oh I would have had a hard time choosing too! They are both strong in their own way and I’m glad you posted both.

Thanks for your comments, NW! I’m leaning more towards the detailed shot…but ….

The detailed shot is great but I was really impressed by the strength of the circle in the full shot too. Lisa

I think I like the close up better. It seems to have a richer fullness to it. Great shot.

Wow, I really like both but for different reasons. I just love the detail of the close-up, but there is something very appealing about the flow of the full artwork. Well done.

Hi! PJB! Thanks for stopping by. I know what you mean…one doesn’t seem to be complete without the other. An intriguing puzzle. Thanks!

I think it makes an excellent argument for why you should shoot everything from multiple angles.

True! I like what Ben Long says–about “working a shot”–which means taking it from a variety of angles. It makes sense.
