Hi jono, I do and don't like this. It's very arty and certainly tells a tale - according to the interpretation of the viewer. For me it's too involved, too much going on. I think the figure is too dominant for the mood the rest of the image creates - it's rather like looking at two seperate images in one. But that's just me. Kent and Kate, whose opinions I deeply respect (along with their artistic eye/s) both love it...so I guess it all comes down to personal preference.
One thing's for sure, you've provoked strong opinions -.
Flick.

Hi Jono
I really love this image - although busy with lots of things happening it seems strangely empty and desolate. Well done - I'm very impressed. Kate

Hi Jono. It's an interesting image, and definitely not your usual style. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, but I know I'd like it more were it not for the horizontal black line intersecting the girl's neck from the right. Everytime I look at the picture it seems she's being impaled. -- DF

Jono, I like it. But its one of those images you either "get" or don't :-) - Quentin

Thank you Kent
I was quite pleased as well, but it's rather out of (my) character,
Maybe others didn't like it. jono

Simply amazing. This is why I do (and study) photography. Kent
