Pleased to pick this one up - as you know I didn't vote on this one and my comment in voting was pranksterish.
I think what I like most about this is its distinctiveness - it looks like one yours. Also, the whole image feels more than a little dangerous to me - the animal seems exotic; a panther perhaps.... I'm immediately reminded of images of the Beast of Bodmin. The leash looks lethal, like the trail of some special effects bullet - indeed the end appears to stop prior to the beast like a bullet frozen in mid air.
The tones are just fine and contribute to the feeling of the image, conspiring to reveal and obscure with simultaneous effect.
in my top 5 favorites. The energy in the rope pulls me to the object(cat? Dog?black hole?) love how I keep getting pulled back in to reexamine the object.
Transcendental tug-o'-war. And oddly compelling too. I probably would not hang this on my wall, or at least not permanently, but if I wrote a really good psychological thriller I would ask you if I could use this for the cover. 8. Thank you.
