Dona i Ocell
This towering 22-metre ceramic mosaic sculpture by Joan Miró makes for a striking subject thanks to its bold primary colors, abstract form, and the shallow reflecting pool that surrounds its base. On calm mornings, the reflection adds a strong symmetrical element to your composition; position yourself low and close to the water's edge to maximize the mirror effect. The sculpture photographs well from multiple distances, so try both tight detail shots of the mosaic tilework and wider frames that place the piece against the sky or surrounding park. Overcast light softens contrast and keeps the colors accurate without harsh shadows, though blue-sky days make the reds and yellows pop dramatically. A wide-angle lens in the 16-35mm range works well for environmental shots, while a standard prime suits detail work. The park is free to enter and easy to reach by metro.
