Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand
Brilliant clear colour here, although a bit of a disturbing shot! Wonder if he found anything?
Amazing contrast too.

@Bronnie: ;) I didnt stick around to see what he dug out!
Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan
Very menacing eyes. Can't help but wonder what happened after the shot.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
If you could possibly get me an appointment, I have one or two things that need to be 'fixed'. You could also call this the squeezer. Nice work!

@Damon Schreiber: He's got time next tuesday if you're free ;) thanks Damon!
Aidan from Seoul, South Korea
Interesting shot. Very piercing eyes.
Is this also from your 'man on the street' series from a few postings previous?
11 Feb 2007 2:29pm
@Aidan: Thanks Aidan, to be honest the Man on the street shots were titled due to downright laziness on my behalf!
Alfredo J. Martiz J. from Tokyo, Japan
Really interesting portrait, he has a strong look!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks ALfredo!
Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan
Pick me a winner! I like the colour you've decided to go with on this picture. His lines on his face really add texture to the picture.

@Colour blind: Thanks Kelly!
Daniel from United States
Looks like one tough dude! I might crop a little tighter to eliminate some of the background "noise".
11 Feb 2007 9:03pm
@Daniel: Thanks DAniel!
@Still: merci beaucop Still!

This is intense. The contrast seems to give added impact. A brave shot, Duncs.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
GEORGE: So let's say in her mind she witnessed a pick. Okay, so then what?
JERRY: Is that so unforgivable? Is that like breaking a commandment? Did God say to Moses thou shalt not pick?
GEORGE: I guarantee you that Moses was a picker. You wander throughh the desert for forty years with that dry air. ... You telling me you're not going to have occasion to clean house a little bit.
(I just can't help myself, great photo mate)

@Chris Sullivan: ;) bonus points for that comment! a classic moment relived!
Paul Ricciardi from West Hartford, United States
I haven't been around the last four days, but woah, what a shot. The intensity of emotional content and backstory here is wonderful in a menancing sort of way. I love it.
12 Feb 2007 4:51pm
@Paul Ricciardi: Thanks Paul. Ive not been around so much either. really busy at the moment but I'll be checking in. Loving your new experiments with light. Commented on your house on the hill one last night and was going to do the succeeding one but had to crash. They're worth a time investment on my part, so Ill be back this week.
@H.O: Thank you Hiro-san!
