I had to delete the picture and didn't want to remove it permanently, together with the comments of my colleagues and friends, so here they are:

Hey Rejith!

Googy dry is hiding from my camera which is not by the way a SLR, just a Chinese range finder. It's kind of decoration on my shelves! And the Googy hates cameras and that's why he is my regular visitor. He envy me that I can use those "devil's" machines, ha!

Cheers to that!

This is an amazing shot. It really is thought provoking. Great job. I love the camera or range finder, what ever it is. It adds a whole lot to this image. I think the only thing I would do would be to darken the camera a bit to make it look a little more natural. Otherwise a masterpiece. Great one. Cheers to that.

Hi Darren&Danielle, hi Rakesh!

Darren, the camera isn't natural thing at all, ha, why then it should look natural. It is not too bright, there isn't shadow under it, I was doing the shadow, but in this copy it wasn't finished well. I will now just emphasize the shadow and by your order darken a camera a bit and then tell me was I right or were you right!

I don't mind "looking real" on something which obviously and close to common senses not possible to be real. And I sure can make it real if I want to!

Cheers to that!
