Great use of the fisheye, Erin. This conveys such a feeling of isolation and coldness -- I wonder how it would have been treated in the Harsh Environment challenge?

I lover the dark tree reaching up into the deep blue sky, rather forlorn but also beautiful!

nice and moody as the song is

people should get into the picture while hearing the song instead of watching an annoying;) video

Erin - in February I told Sittingonthegrass she had jewels in her family to photograph - so do you. Your portraits are amazing and so honest and your processing makes them beautifully unique and wonderful. I love them for being so real. Your children are going to appreciate your talent so much in years to come. Lucky kids!

Ironic cause I saw the taped Billy Joel interview on Oprah today. I absolutely adore that song and loved the Mel Torme version as well. Just fantastic. The fisheye gives that distorted sense, perfect for the feeling you get in a bit city - like you are just a little pea in the big bowl of soup. Love the blue tones too. Your photos totally rock.

Cool song and WOW, what a view!! The distortion works wonderfully here, and the blue tones match the melancholy tone of the song perfectly!

I've always loved how shallow DOF works with budding trees... Wonderful!

GREAT song!! I am amazed at your ability to turn a mundane object into a work of art with just a little bit of lensbaby and cool color :-) Sweet!!
