It's not a great shock that you came up with yet another brilliant concept and then executed it so well. You have proven yourself to be of incredible creativity and talent, and this is just the latest.

But I'm very, very happy for you about this statement at the end of your comments: "I think this picture really sets a milestone in my work."

I also like what you said about not taking up photography as a job. While I'm nowhere near as talented, several friends have suggested the same to me, and I give them exactly the same answer.

Felicitations!

Christophe, I fear that people have started to recognize your fine work and vote it down on purpose. This should have been a blue for sure. Not to discount the current blue which is of course fantastic... I'm just saying that this didn't warrant any ones, twos or threes. The same thing happened on a challenge where you came in second to me so I guess I can't complain too much :) bien fait!

Call me unobservant. I didn't know they were all hands until I read your notes.

Now... it's AMAZING, Christophe!

Originally posted by wizardry: Christophe, as usual, OUTSTANDING...please tell me your day job revolves around photography...if not...you should seriously think about it...you are one of the best i have seen on this site...and there are some damn good photogs on here!

Thanks for your kind words. No my job has nothing to do with photography. However, I don't really want to change that: I love photography because I am totally free in it. Should money come into the equation, this would probably change, which I do not wish.
