wow...you have really created something here...the toning and angle are wonderful...
and I have to say...I just now read posthumous' comment, and am laughing...
not sure if it is an insult or compliment for you, but I certainly appreciate any association with this shot!
It may not have been DPC-friendly, but it remains a stunning image. Not just stunning...perfect. It disheartens me a little bit that this ended up so far down in the voting.
Some mad genius has stolen one of bucket's photo and found a photo inside it. My guess is that you're a frustrated poet, a haiku-writer to be more precise, who became obsessed with the beauty of bucket's work. Finally, you couldn't take it any longer. It wasn't enough to merely write comments about bucket's photo this time. You had to inhabit the picture, find your own picture within his picture. Indeed, you are a stealer of souls, as are all artists. And as with all master thieves, the thing you have stolen has now become your own. I can only give this a 10. It is a brief, stunning poem of light.
