and before me. . .
Energetic and spell binding, yet anxiety provoking. A skill easily never learned is one that allows us to slow down for the present rather than rushing to the future, as depicted by your young man.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Excellent eccentric (and eclectic) POV here - like we are falling; there is enough ambiguity in the scene to disorientate us - always a good thing! Is this an old mill? It looks like that. The blur of the rushing figure cuts a fine form and the textured surfaces provide an anchor for the barely discernible shadowed areas.
Critical stuff: Not much at all
Overall: Weird enough to be slightly unsettling. Great stuff. |

| Intriguing, nice composition. Looks more like he's running toward his world, rather than away. Cool shot. |

| A definite sense of escape the sinister environment, love the lone table. |

| Not sure what to make of all of this - looks like parts of a stair in the foreground, but unless it is grossly distorted, that would make the (child, I presume) way too small. But even comparing the child to the stones in the wall, he/she seems too small. The tilt of the shot adds to its mystery. Not sure this conveys the feeling of being chased, however. |

| The table in the frame anchors this image for me. I like your perspective....the title adds to the mystery. |

In the warehouse the giant's, cruel laughter mocks,
the countdown on the clock goes tick, tock.
Escher stairs teeter to Hitchcock
as Jack races to escape from this stalk.
The whole tilt to the world and the child running for the door gives off a sinister/suspense type feel. The tilt to the stairs reminds me of the artist, M.C Escher's impossible constructs that border on the fantastic and sometimes whimsical. Your stark black and white tones, the child running, and the interesting 'camera angle' also projects the mood and feel of suspense akin to Hitchcock films. I instantly got the feel of a childhood story/game getting deadly/sinister - for some reason Jack in the Beanstalk came to mind...perhaps because in the end it becomes a race to freedom as the giant 'stalks' Jack. |
