Description You know, everything starts with a sphere...

I've done this in about 1.5h of work with freshly fallen snow. the whole construction is 1.8m tall (this is almost 6 feet, the real height can be seen best on my other shot: creation ). i started with the three branches which i hooked together just by balancing. then i added the snow little by little. after having a big bulby thing i started to smooth the surface until it looked like that.

i may take some shots tomorrow again, if it's still standing, because it was quite bad weather at that time and almost dark.

so... comments?

tech:
ps edditing: abit of: hue, saturation, curves.

I've spent alot of time around snow.. And I have to admit i first thought it was a tiny snowball shish-kebabed on sticks... The other pic gives you scale, here you lack it..

Amazing concept, and an interesting structure!

It's almost philosophical...

But I'm not very philosophical, so I'm not going to go into that

Still, a great shot. The tones are nice, and the angle is interesting.

Reminded me of Atlas.

I'm not sure exactly why I like this - maybe because its so unusual.... In the tiny thumbnail i thought it was a huge egg lol. Its a really interesting piece..... I could stare at it for hours trying to analyis it.

Very nice

WOW - wenn du's nicht dazugesagt hΓ€ ttest, dann wΓ€r ich nicht drauf gekommen dass das Teil so riesig ist.
Du machst dir echt nen haufen Arbeit

Die Blaue Farbe vom Schnee is zwar (imho) nicht so der Hammer aber sie harmoniert sehr gut mit dem Rahmen

Klasse Idee!

Awesome concept dude! Love the idea..I first was under the impression that the contraption was about 20 cm tall but dude...150cms...wooohh!
That's a huge biatch. Nice job on the smoothing, very cool.
