This is a photograph of a bronze sculpture titled "Free Money" by artist Tom Otterness. It is displayed outside the Nassau County Museum of Art located in Roslyn, NY.
My intent was to portray the piece in a whimsical and happy manner. Critique, comments and suggestions welcomed, thanks. 8-)

I don't get the 'Free Money' title at all, unless there's a lot missing from the photo. Your own title appears far more representative of the piece.
I like what you did, and my first thought here was two snowmen skating/ice dancing, and if you were indeed going for whimsical and happy, you nailed it.
Maybe they're whimsically happy because someone gave them free money? If someone gave me free money, I'd be happy. Not sure about whimsical. Tell you what, send me a few thousands, and I'll let you know how whimsical I get.
Nice shot!

Love it! It does look like they're carefree and happy. The exposure is great, and the raindrops add a lot of interest.

Thanks for the feedback Randy. The two bronze characters depicted are actually dancing on a bronze sack of money. Otterness was trying to make a statement concerning the haves and the have nots.

Otterness himself is an interesting character and although an acclaimed artist has had his moments of controversy. In 1977 he adopted a dog from an animal shelter and then filmed himself tying it to a tree and shooting it in the head.

Anyway, by photographing part of the sculpture and giving it a new title I changed the meaning to fit my image of his work. :D
