LOL Really cool! Debbi

Thanks all for the compliments (and yes, I'll take "creepy" and "oh gross" as compliments, LOL!). Shu, yes, it's a self-portrait of sorts (or perhaps I should say self-portrait of "parts"). Nico, I understand your suggestion but it really is a toe shadow because the foot was photographed in that exact location on the floor...I'm going to keep the shadow (for now, anyway). -Michael

'Protheses' look so real these days don't they Michael? I recognise those jeans.... they have a habit of appearing in strange places! Mr Puff!... if you don't stop doing this you may have to host a million of these challenges! Oh... did I mention that I think this is terrific? ~ Regards Melbob

That guy must be really tired - he managed to get home from work, take off his shoes and socks (hey where are the shoes and socks? that would add an interesting element I think - a little naturalness to a kinda sterile environment), and throw his pants on the chair. Oops! left his feet in them. lol still think its a little creepy but fun, Cindy PS - Looking forward to seeing this and others in person! guess you won't take the Bay Bridge now . . .

Mr Puff, what can one say that has not been said with your masterpieces? It is classic, it is amazing, it makes me wonder "how on earth did he do that..?, it is fun, it has excellent bw toning, it is wonderfully composed, and so on and so on... Fantastic floor to go with the furniture and the flowers are a splendid addition. If I am allowed one minor (very minor) suggestion, it would be that dark patch under the one foot on the floor. Somehow it looks more like a spot of dirt on the floor (which I am sure was not the case) than a real shadow. Perhaps that coud be cloned out or softened slightly. (If that is the real shadow, I stand humbly corrected.) Compliments and regards jnconradie

Thanks all. Cindy, I'll admit it, Charles Addams is one of my heroes. He's taught me that it's OK to see things a wee bit differently. -Michael
