A Corner of the Field

I  have never seen something like this ! Amazing ! Iz that where elves is going to do his shift?!

WOW! A very novel and challenging scene you show us here. The B&W rendering adds mystery and fascination. Thanks for the thrills!

A very attractive image. Thank you for sharing! Best regards.

A well-planned sinkhole if I do say so myself.  A rip in the universe?

Jack, you found calculas on road the other day. Now you found  Euclidean geometry on the corner of a field. I salute you, dear friend. 

If ever there was a making of something out of nothing, this is it! I salute you my friend. This is truly fine work.

Wow. I have been shooting a lot of flags and their shadows recently, and at first glance I thought that is what this is. Instead you have given us this mysteriously sharp edged corner of land! Amazing.

seriously suggestive image Jack. This location would be one I would return/drawn to many times. I want to know more intellectually but I have to balance that with the beauty of the open-ended. Wow.

Jack, you are currently on a high upload speed, it's hard to follow your new stuff.

This one took me already two days ago but only now is time to comment.

This is really a shot with the eyes and the brain, you need to see it and to transform it to a developed image.

The image is not directly understood in the first second, we need to enter first.

The 'black' triangle, we find out what it is, but that long we are falling in that hole.

The very sharp edges of it makes it work.

Your composition is so well balanced in terms of lines and  partitioning, also the quiet ground and loud rear.

Very very fine shot! Congratulations!

(Walks into my favourites)

Tatjana - Come on, you have seen EVERYTHING! Iwouldn't be surprised if you had an elf living next door.

Markku - Thrills and chills. There's something strange about this field.  Kind of reminds me of a scene from the 1953 sci/fi classic "Invaders From Mars"

Gunnar - Praise from the old master. I'm thrilled.

Jeff - I don't recall this being strange at all when I took the picture. I think the rip in the universe lies between my ears. Ah, the odd little life of the itinerent artist!

Amal - As I recall, I had to take a special summer class to pass geometry in high school. I like numbers and ratios well enough, I just can't make them jump through hoops on command. I view them as artistic relationships rather than academic calculations.

David - Looking back at my life, I seem to have built a lot out of not very much at all. Kind of a lifelong sleight of hand. My obituary is going to be very short.

Linda - You achieve very similar effects with many of your shots. Your recent pennant series is a good example. I think it's a matter of visualizing relationaships.

Josh - I haven't been following your work very long but it definitely has had an influence on how I see things. I think the trick is to steal from the very best (I can't remember who said that: it's a flippant statement but like many joking, off-hand remarks, it contains a grain of truth).

Axel - English may be your second language but your critique is very well expressed, much more precisely put than what many native speakers could do.

i'd have to agree with the others. there's a slight jolt to this image. compositionally, you've nailed it- it holds together with a resolute sense of ambiguity.

Thanks. "...a resolute sense of ambiguity".Nice phrase.

"...a resolute sense of ambiguity". Wonderful! 

Playing with our senses... Charging us to re-visit the fidelity of our much trusted perceptions; like many illusions do. Somehow, the ambiguity makes me feel better; I cross the border of everydayness for a second or two, until sanity re-gains its reign.
