One LOVES the not-visible dog and the truncated bike. One LOVES the workman wondering WTF you're shooting, and why. One LOVES that the bucket has no readily-discernible means of support, such that one can easily imagine it is caught in mid-plummet, the whole world going on about its business as the instant of impact looms. One LOVES the mysterious, gooseneck, ET-like shadow that has no visible source.

One LOVES this image :-)

I knew it! I told penny, "You watch, Slippy's gonna be all about TEEF!" Thanks for proving my prescience. Now we'll see if slapstick can trump high-minded seriousness :-)

Awesome Bacon. If the distortion's in post, I'm afraid you'll get crucified. If you shot *through* something, you're golden. Either way, wonderful set.

What an excellent finish! I can understand the folks thinking it's a diorama, though, it's almost too perfect :-)

I'm surprised the other eagle beat this one, actually; as far as I'm concerned, this one's a full point better, because of much more expressive light and detail. Congrats on your new PB and top-20!

So this was you? Wonderful shot, one of my high scores. Vaguely reminds me of this effect I captured whilst panning the gulls a long time ago:



I find that sort of thing fascinating, the discovery of *more* by the leaching out of specificity.
