Well, when I did my version of this many moons ago, at least I was upfront and tried to give credit to the photographer I captured it from. Who knows, the version I saw may not have been original either. Though I like it, this photo is not original at all. Just like in writing, perhaps we should all cite our reference in photography. Or we just try to always create an image concept that has never been done before, to the best of our knowledge, of course.

I composed a similar photo some time ago after seeing the theme before: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1954820

 

I like your spoons! I had to bend mine with pliers to get the wiggly tails.

Thanks Koos. I agree. This does work better. In the original image there was another person off to the right who was also enjoying himself, but he was in the foreground and therefore out of focus, so I cropped him out.

I enjoy the contrast between the warm expressions of these people in

Central Park and the curious (jealous?) gaze of the two background

subjects in the bokeh.

I rented a fisheye for a day and had a lot of fun using it. Though

it's easy to create busy images when using an extreme wide angle lens

such as this one, what I do like about this shot is that the

gentleman stopped strolling in time to have his image nicely framed

by the subway structure.

The 2003 National Cyclocross Championships held in Portland, OR, was

a true test of skill and determination. This guy clearly appears

tired as well as stunned by what he just experienced after more than

an hour of racing.

Stark desert playa shots sometimes need a little biota.
