Your comment on this win intrigued me, so I took a look at your portfolio. I don't know if anyone else has a problem with your work, but I absolutely love it, and COMPLETELY agree about the beauty of simplicity. Your work is just that - simple and very very powerful. You are a true photographer, you don't need a swathe of editorial gimmicks in order to make your statement, you just make it, perfectly. Please don't change a thing, you're a true artist. I've picked you as one of my favourite photographers and look forward to seeing you flourish further. Congratulations.

clever! bordering on genious!

It definitely gives me a sense of movement - the spinning of the vortex sucking in debris. Extremely nice shot - I really like it.

I have no idea what that outer thing is. But, the composition, setup, lighting and the title are incredible. Predicting a blue for this. Hope this wins. I see a touch of yanko here. If not, no offense please.Message edited by author 2008-09-03 00:57:16.

One of my faves. Would love to see this ribbon. I love the swirling vortex of texture and then the spark of light reflected thru the ball. Very cool composition.

ah, looks like a Universe! 8

Magnificent brings back memories of the movie by Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space odyssey"

This is a truly brilliant art piece that would look fantastic hanging just about anywhere.

I like this more than my own, especially for the spiral.
Post actions
Excellent. I like the universe concept behind the shot and the texture of the pipe works well. I expect this to place well. Good luck :)

So very cool. A marble inside a cardboard tube maybe? Your perspective and lighting make this wonderful.

now this is different!it is definitely abstract, I love the texture and the swirls seem to be sucking you in I don't like the white spot centered, but the marble balances it off and by being at an angle it seems to defy gravity 8
