Oskar J. W. Hansen WPA sculpture at Hoover Dam, Colorado

This is the second of my Images on The Edge Series. I've always been intrigued by Art Nouveau and Art Deco such as this sculpture is. It is another example of the use of a pinhole camera simulation. The only place that I had available to shoot from presented this difficult backlighting that washed out the color and much of the detail. Consequently this image sat idle for years until I recently decided it would be a good candidate for this pinhole camera technique. The emphasis is on creating a mood rather than on sharpness and accurate tonal balance.
