Footprint Illusion

I can’t see it as an imprint only an outprint. I keep trying to sneak up on it but I cannot make my brain imprint it! Clearly I have become hard and inflexible – doh!

Path Older Than Time

Love the foreground, not so sure about the sky though. The sky is very dramatic and sets the image off well but it looks rather fake and that spoils it a little. I think it is that the mountains are just too sharp at the transition to the sky. The image is amazing and the foreground leads me straight to the mountains then me eye gets hung-up on the sharp transition and it suddenly becomes two images, ground and sky.

It̢۪s a fantastic image none the less!

Joey, you are not a good photographer - you are a master of emotion. No one has ever shocked me with the power of imagery as you have – no one. I am humbled and I am grateful.

My greatest respect, Mike

(I posted this here as it seemed the most fitting. I could have said this on any of your images.)

Caged Expression

Could have used a focal point – one with the cap off and a little paint oozing out perhaps – as it is it’s nice but rather jumbled.

Looks like an interesting composition but its so bright it took me several seconds to figure out what it was.

I Will Not Break My Pencil

Comment:
The focus seems a touch off - it̢۪s just a fraction above the broken pencil bits I think. A little sharpening may fix it (bad pun).

Learning the Drill

Spooky. Would have been stronger without the two drill bits in the foreground though – it would have made it more machine shop like.
