Prise

Inspired by Arno Rafael Minkkinen. Another thought for the lines theme I am doing.

[Graeme Stevens]

Great textures, and lines of course, but to me it gets a fav for the "feel" of the image...if that makes any sense at all

[Kim]

Yeah, what he said! very creative

[Krista Marson]

kinda freaky cool.

[Robyn]

Creative and great emotive shot. Fav

[Angela Tavan]

this is fantastic! you can see the tension in the hands and the contrast with the timber works really well! Fav!

[Debs Stott]

I like the sense of tension in the image, superbly done. Fav

[Andy Mcculloch]

Wow really love this.

[Alice Nellis]

ALmost painful to look at. Fav.

[James_Nicholas]

[Jasmine]

[Lyn Berriman]

Love this!

[☠northy]

Fav! This has a wonderful feral feel to it!

[Steve]

Great shot puts mine to shame

[Spanner]

@scarybird Not at all. I really like what you have done. He is hard to channel. Thanks for your comments on this shot.

[Steve]

@spanner thanks for your great comments. I did suggest to the wife we try some of the naked shots but she was having none of it. Your contrast is so much better than mine what do you use? Will see if I can do some more by the end of the week

[Spanner]

@scarybird I do processing using Nik plugins - This one is tweaked in silver effex.

[Bec]

Haha nice framing!!

[Call me Joe]

Can be a cool movie poster- love the concept !

[Leslie]

so much emotion in this one ...

[Rosie Kerr]

This shot feels like someone is trapped inside the tree... trying to get it to open up. Wonderful effect. I agree with Alice... it has a panicked look and is a bit scary to view. Well done.

[SherrieS]

I think this is very artistic.... I want to yell "HANG ON!"

[Spanner]

@scarybird I am waiting on those nudie shots! My wife has turned me down flat. No sense of adventure.....

[Annie D]

oh this is awesome - I agree with Graeme there is a feel about it that for me chills the spine

[Tracey]

Fabulous shot loved this straight away has a lot of feeling to it instant fav

[Suse♡]

Crazy good, a fav

[Lou]

Normally the crop right at the wrists would bug me, but here it totally works with the tension. It's like you're trying to tear the wood apart. Such curious suggestions here... Awesome.

[Trinda Love]

Gripping!

[Spanner]

@louuncouth Thanks Lou - This is a telegraph pole which determined the crop - any wider and the frame would not have been filled. We tried a tree but her arms were not long enough and we couldn't get the tension. I am glad you like it. Inspired by your wonderful suggestion. Thank you.

[Spanner]

@trinda Brilliant - you made me laugh this morning. Thank you.

[Sheralee S]

So spooky and creative, looks like the coming of the undead! fav.

[Joan]

Love this shot!! Intense as my mind is wondering what is being ripped open..

[Lisa Pouncy]

Cool. Fav xx
