This was actually an interesting pick for me because I didn't realize it was the same photographer as the last picture I wrote about until I looked for the name. For anyone familiar with art, this is a contemporary version of Michelangelo Buonarroti's Pieta sculpture, which is located in Vatican City. That was the reason it caught my eye originally as well. I believe that while the image is easily copied because of the basic form of two people, I think the photographer did a great job here in making it more modern. The old stair case and rails framing the sides of the picture are a nice touch and I enjoy the way the stairs lead the viewer up and down the sides of the picture and ultimately into the middle.
