I was away so didn't get to voting but, yes, I'm a wacko who digs it.

It's an arachnophobic's nightmare, the spider looking ghostly and still vividly, menacingly real. Is the mesh protecting or caging the prey?

The optical illusion at the junctures of the mesh add to the dream feeling, bringing in an element that is visible from the corner of the eye, then disappearing on direct viewing.

Yup, I'd hang it on my wall! :D

Nice grainy feel to this shot which makes you think that you are definitely an outsider looking in

Good image

I have to say..let this be a lesson to you..shooting from the hip is not worthwhile, because when you look up you find art...and yes I mean that, this is not something the hip knows, this is something the eye sees, that busy brain of yours captures..
I am immensely disappointed that you didn't achieve one of your profile goals with this shot..being mistaken for me..:)
and now I can't say it is good, or I would sound like an idiot...ok it is more like boysetsfire...
I like it!

Or giant bats flying overhead and blocking out the sun, take your pick. :) Great idea to meet the challenge.

Don, you always come up with new and interesting shots that fit the challenge!! I wish the closed minds were a bit more prone to opening.

I feel almost like I am looking in on something private..It is a very good photo. I think i would crop a little off of the top....Maybe.... haha, i'd like to see it like that anyway.

Reaching Out
by posthumous

Comment by glad2badad:
Funny how a title can change the perspective of first opinions when viewing an image. "Reaching Out" at first takes me to the obvious subject of the woman walking, hand outstretched. Is there a subliminal message? The door of the church in the background beckons the viewer then sends the eye in a heavenly direction following the beams of light that seem to originate from the doorway.

Great eye to see this and capture this image.

Not on the theme, but a nice shot, anyway.
