Walking down the runway like some super model, very funny. Love the blue/green tones.

What really makes this shot for me is the reflection in the TV. The image itself is on a small, limited space, but then you sneakily manage to get what's basically a vanishing point into one of the reflections :)

The light is pretty cool too - I like the outline of light framing the chair. And the DOF works for me. The retro processing feel is very cool too. Damn you for lack of sexy models and northern lights though, whatever were you thinking :p

It's like he's in the scope of a gun. LOL He DOES strut now doesn't he?

I love these weird little surreal moments in life and you have captured this beautifully. The dof is just perfect and the muted colours are nice, it would be interesting to see with a more acid look though. I think it's a great shot but it's one of those quieter shots that get so easily overlooked on DPC.

I love this. I don't suppose you were expecting this to score highly, but it's a great find and the processing is absolutely spot-on. I wonder if you could have introduced a little more contrast into the TV screen to highlight the reflection - I think this was missed by a lot of voters.

Very cool, I like them both but I do favor the one on the right. They both have great tones.

When I voted/commented on this one the first time, I have to admit that I did not pay careful enough attention, and did not realize there was that reflection in the screen that looked like it was turned on. I think a lot of people in their haste to vote on a lot of pictures missed that subtlety.

I think the image itself is a little deadpan, and a lot of voters (myself included) didn't get it. I don't know if that description makes sense or not. But, as I had said during my in-voting comment, I did not think this one would have broad appeal.

You'd think something unusual and quirky would be appreciated, but no. Love the composition, the sum of the elements in the photo and the tones. My only reservation would be the frame, which to me seems a little heavy in face of the soft colors of the image.

Edit to say - I just saw that you mentioned the frame yourself in the I love my shot thread. So nevermind.

There are so many ghosts here. Ghosts don't do well on DPC; people don't like to see ghosts, it brings up too many of their own. But there are so many here. In the TV -- it's not plugged in, I looked for the power cable, but it's not there. So, either the picture is a ghost, or the tv is a ghost, showing images without electricity. And then there are the ghosts in the windows of the house. Ghosts of a place where everyone has been, but no one lives. I love your work, but just remember, not so many ghosts next time. Ghosts don't do well on DPC . . .
