self-portrait. I am astonished by the richness of this work (both from a compositive pov and as far as tones are regarded). Compliments Jack, another gem, Giuseppe

There is a mysterious nature here. Almost English in appearance. But I have no idea why it seems that way. Damn magicians!

Hi Jack, I'm sitting in the Narita airport on a layover and thought I better see what my friend Jack is up to. It's another magic act image...pulling from thin air an aesthetic beauty that I can assure you most would snooze right by. Wish we could bump into one another one of these days. Take care.

Strong and interesting composition and interesting detail. So nice tonality and elegant presentation. Very good! Regards.

I have learned a lot from the people I consider master photographers here on photo.net and the four gentlemen who commented on this picture have been among my most influential teachers. I am sincerely grateful for your response to this picture.

Jack, you are influencing us with your unique images.

soft shadows and an embeded photographer in ambush at the corner...

Beautiful image in a little bit surprising composition which may cause some visual illusions, like this monochrome impression and the subtle use of the light and shadow play which gives a mysterious atmosphere to the whole. I can't help thinking that this photo in its mood is somewhere between E.C. Escher's drawings and A.E. Poe's novels.

This is a perfect example of your mastery at using light to provoke our imagination. The mysterious and foreboding mood combined with the assortment of geometrical shapes found throughout the composition create an effect that is bewitching.
