She Lies (Norwegian: hun ligger) is a public sculpture by Monica Bonvicini made of stainless steel and glass panels measuring approximately 12 metres (39 ft) by 17 metres (56 ft) by 16 metres (52 ft) next to the Oslo Opera House, in Norway.
It is a permanent installation, floating on the water in the fjord on a concrete platform, 12 metres (39 ft) above the water surface. The sculpture turns on its axis in line with the tide and wind, offering changing experiences through reflections from the water and its transparent surfaces. The sculpture was made by Bonvicini as a three-dimensional interpretation of Caspar David Friedrich's painting The Sea of Ice (Das Eismeer) (1823–1824).

I would have liked to see this sculpture from the seaward side looking towards the Opera House, because the back-lighting was difficult.

You did manage well with the difficult lighting conditions. Shooting RAW is helpful in such cases because it gives you more scope.

I can also see how difficult it would be to photograph in certain conditions. Given that harsh light I think you've done a very good job Amelia. I also like the overall compostion, especially the positioning of the sailing boat.
