Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2003 V-E-R-T-I-G-O !!!!!! In all seriousness, this is one of the coolest, most original pictures I've seen on photo.net in a long time. And that's saying a lot. What I really, really like about it is that it's, well, a ratther ordinary scene turned on it's head (sorry!) that adds an extraordinary amount of tension and humor to the mundane. Bra-vo!

Guest Guest Posted March 29, 2003 It took me a while to orientate myself. Unusual angle, what a pleasant surprise. Link to comment
jordan_darwin 0 Posted March 31, 2003 From an interesting photo right side up to a really great eye catching photo when turned upside down in current configuration. Very high marks all around - good use of B&W Link to comment

doug_johnson2 0 Posted April 9, 2003 Thank you everyone for all the kind words. I thought of this shot a couple years ago and finally got around to shooting it last summer. The barrel distortion in my 17-35 lens puts a small curve in the horizon and it almost looks to me as if I'm seeing the curvature of the earth. Also, I thought by tilting the camera it would contribute to that illusion. The surprise for me was the impact once I turned the photo upside down. Link to comment
bob_phillips1 0 Posted April 12, 2003 Whoa!!! It made me a little jump a little when I first looked at it. I guess it is the Dad in me. It really caused some emotion. I like it. Link to comment
linda_holmes 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Terrific -- the angle is bizarre, but fascinating. It goes perfectly with his smile. Link to comment
eskoufos 0 Posted April 15, 2003 Love the picture. I think that looks better right side up (more balanced) Link to comment
ring42master 0 Posted April 15, 2003 This photo catches my eye, but trips me out. The kid is looking at me, and it seems as if he's about to fall off something very tall. At the same time, the child's expression reveals delight and security; it just takes me awhile to figure out how the shot works. Cute. Link to comment
ken_dunn1 0 Posted April 25, 2003 Nice twist on things, photography should give a new way of looking at things and it did. Takes a minute to figure everything out, kind of distracting, but nice once you get your focus. Thats why I gave it a 5 for aesthetics (but a 7 for originality) Link to comment
