shameless etsooi

removed the mess in front of the guy in PS... because, y'know, i could... ;p

tx for being so nice about my knife and spoon... tired and uninspired and really should be doing christmassy things but I.JUST.DON'T.FEEL.LIKE.IT

edited to add: i should probably accept the irony of it all tho'... i found this spot because of being stranded on the wrong side of a santa parade on the weekend... this walkway is nowhere near as large as it ends up seeming here - maybe 4 feet across and i dunno, 20 or 30 feet long max? i didn't play with the scale in editing tho'...

great verticals, lighting and a wonderful silhouette. one of my very favorite favs!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I know that feeling, too, Northy! And I like the strange atmosphere of your photo -- the man seems to be floating, maybe even beginning an ascent.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Alexander]

Oh yeah, this is the s#!t. Love the oppressive nature of the buildings towering ominously over him. :-)

[Simply Amanda]

Love the lines, dude and contrast. Can't believe that there are just 2 weeks til Christmas. I've done no shopping yet!!

[Sandi]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

cool- very sci fi- like that movie where they swam in the pool and became young again (guess who didn't see that movie but saw the commercials?) oh anyway- he looks like he's walking into the future or the past or a really brightly lit tunnel.

[Abhijit]

awesome work

[trishaclancy]

I love the way it draws you in to the subject. Am I the only one to think though that he has a bare bottom? (Note to self....must get out more) Fav

Stunning - love the processing/ETSOOI - FAV

[Steve Angell]

Awesome edit, and great shot. I love the industrial look of this. Looks bleak, but calm and peaceful with the lonely walker. Kind of want to be there, with my iPod having a wander...!

Ohhh....love this! We stopped doing Christmas a long time ago (meaning gift exchange and all the running around). Now we just have a great family dinner with all the homemade elements and give a donation to a favourite charity. My husband and I like grabbing a coffee and walking around the mall the day before Christmas watching all the frantic shoppers. People watching at its best. ;)

[Nicole]

Awesome shot!! love the low pov and the etsooi!!

[Beau]

Love this. In the end, its your vision. And in reality, our minds block out half of what we see naturally anyway. Fav.

Fav! Such a mysterious image. Your processing is fab.

[CAT Carter]

gripping image, wow!

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Trust you to get a photo of a man's buttocks.

Even I'm looking forward to Christmas, but I'm not puttingup decorations. I think there will be enough of that going on when I visit my parents.

[mum13/Michelle]

fabulous shot! I love the oppressive feel about it. Rather frightening. great processing.
