...the sculpture's surface reflects and distorts the city's skyline...

This is such a WOW! It's difficult to get a unique shot at the Bean, but you've managed it beautifully. I never would have thought of this. What a fabulous, twisty shot! This is absolutely outstanding.
WOW, Bill! What a GREAT shot! It has the viewer guessing at what he's seeing, and at what he's seeing it through! As Tara, says, a difficult subject to shoot and get "right", but you've proven your capacity as a photographer with this (and not to forget all the other photos you've done great with!). Any chance of seeing the entire sculpture so we get an idea of its totality? This was real fun - keep up the good work! :-)
WOW here too. This made my head spin to the point of which way is up? Great post Bill :)
Thanks for the link about "The Bean". Great shot. I like it.
Very beautiful , Bill ! I love the distortion, invent a new world!
Very cool capture Great POV
What a cracker of a shot!! Unique!
excellent my friend...so well seen
I may have wrench my neck looking at this. ;) Excellent capture!
Outstanding capture Bill!!!! For a moment I thought my eyes were going bad. LOL! Very cool reflections!!!
This is extraordinary Bill, very well seen and a cracking shot.
OH yes, I thought it was about that bean again. Excellent shot :-)
Bean there, done that now says Bill ..
brilliant! awesome shot! :-D
This is really cool, Bill! That "bean" must be a photographer's paradise - I'm gonna have to make a trip to Chicago just to shoot the darn thing! LOL!
Amazing shot!!!
Really interesting work...Chicago must be an awesome city to visit.
You have titled it very well Distorted indeed Great image Hugs Susan~
amazing shot and work!
You came, you saw, and you snapped! Good job!
Oh good thing I drank a cup of coffee first.. great image and technique.
I'm glad I've actually seen this or I'd think my eyes were going bad--super perspective!!
This is one of the best bean shots I've seen and I love the curvy bits, especially since the bean is so photographed, it's hard to think there are undiscovered curvy bits. Ah, but it's curves galore and I like to sometimes image that it's what a high-gravity spatial/temporal distortion might look like. The central omphalos underneath it could work as a demonstration of the effect a massive black hole might have on normal space/time. This is a super shot. I like it immensely! Ha! And I think I might possibly have a photo of you making this photo! I'll have to look through the files from that day just to make sure. This is great.
A stunning image ... Very well done
Fantastic capture Bill!
Distortion at its best. Chip has posted many 'Bean' photos over the years but not from this perspective. Good eye Bill.
Great capture..totally fascinating
