Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Fantastic pose! Do you suppose he's related to a rokurokubi? It's freaky: the more I stare at this, the more it looks like a headless man presenting his head for inspection. I should comment on your excellent rendition, but I just can't get past the pose... um... nice work!

28 Dec 2006 6:12am

@Damon Schreiber: Man you know your stuff by the way...rokurokubi indeed! This is a great comment by the way, it's totally changed my perspective on the photo...he does look headless ne!

Shuva from Hyderabad, India

This is a lovely portrait. The curve of his body is very interesting. LOL!

28 Dec 2006 2:15pm

@Shuva: Thanks Shuva, aye the wide angle lens and selective blurring background can do interesting things when it comes to messing with sense of distance and perspective.

Paul Ricciardi from West Hartford, United States

Amazing, you're really shining with this series.

28 Dec 2006 3:03pm

Michael Zhang from New York, United States

Once again, great processing job. I love how Only her face is sharp. Your pp is a part of your distinct style that would look great in a portfolio. In fact this entire train series would make a great book/portfolio. Keep up the good work!

28 Dec 2006 5:32pm

@Michael Zhang: Thanks so much Michael. I'm trying to render my images a little differently this holiday. Thanks for the kind words about the book/portfolio idea. If I ever do it you'll get a credit!
