See, now, this is the sort of picture that just reinforces my inadequacies. I’d have done a couple of shots from a distance to show the whole thing, which would show the overall shape and give an idea of size by comparing to the surrounds etc and then a couple of close up for detail. If I’d thought to take a shot at this angle, I’d have moved camera position so that all of the tentacle (?) was clear of the leg to improve clarity and basically my images would show as much detail as possible, totally demystified it. That’s because I’m an engineer. I’ve GOT to learn that it’s good to leave a little mystery, to leave some questions unanswered because that raises the interest. The perspective of your shot raises the interest level immensely, even for those who aren’t particularly interested in ‘War of the Worlds’ I look at this and think great shot, great sculpture, good clean welding. How big is it, why the wires projecting on the knees and what do the feet look like? Should I be thanking you for pointing out how far I have to go? btw, apart from all that I really like it!

Wow--that's one angle of an alien I'm sure not too many see too often!

"I gotta get me one a dose!" Wil Smith in Independence Day. Neat shot man. Danny

Great use of perspective and environment. A great shot, high dynamics. Cheers.
