Your pictures nearly always make me think of music or poetry. They are not about photography at all (and what a mercy that is), but more about emotions and memories and sensibility. Oddly enough, this seems to happen as easily when you thumb your nose at convention entirely, as in this picture, or when you pretend to merely be a photographer, as in this one.

Cristophe, this is for me clearly the best picture that you have submitted to DPC. While I have admired the skill and commitment of your more overtly orchestrated works, they haven't been to my taste (though the fact that they are so widely celebrated suggests that that's my problem, and not yours!) But this one I have the double pleasure of both admiring and liking, very much indeed. Thank you.

As for the couple of comments lamenting the shadows, I cannot agree. The real world has shadows. The fact that you could 'spoil' this beautifully constructed whimsy with a cold splash of shadows testifies to your humour as well as your style.

Ahhh! I can't look at this without thinking this:

"Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream." - Floyd.

So many of your pictures make me think of something else, though in this case I suppose it was the title that nudged me in the right direction. But imagine that ΓΆ€“ pictures that make the viewer think of something else! And not out of desperation (as is the case so often with the pictures at the other end of the challenge results), but instead in a spirit of delight & wonder.

You are a rare gift to DPC John. Underappreciated perhaps, but the gift that keeps on giving nonetheless. Thank you.
