This is officially my final five countdown towards my 10,000th comment. It suddenly acquired enormous portent for me, so I chose the final five from the thumbnails.

This is number 10,000. Congratulations.

I don't know why, but I adore this image. The unusual pov and odd "expression" are certainly part of it, but it is also a highly artistic image, in spite of having a "pet" in it. I can't help but feel this by posthumous because it reminds me of this image:



Of course, who shot this is not as important as how wonderful it is. The pp'ing is so perfectly suited to the intent of the image, and I can hear this pooch's Machiavellian laughter echoing across the heaths. The tiny black clouds just above the trees on the left reminds me of crows - whose presence is always considered an ominous portent. Although there is none shown, I imagine a thin fog hugging the ground, and the air damp and chilled. Fabulous. Front page for me.

I officially joined the i love tanguera group after this comment.

VERY underappreciated country abstract. Love this image.

Very interesting, and somehow, a bit disturbing. Like a child recently buried, and his mourners are tossing pink and red balls into his grave. And he LIKES that...

I loved, loved, loved this comment!

"Is this your front door???? Wow. Great image. Where is this?"
I wish it were!
Thanks! :-)

"This is just too ultra-chic. I'm not hip enough to view this image. Seriously incredible lighting and wardrobe. Great posing, art directly. LOVE it."

that comment made my day :)

AAAKGTHSPLGGG!! My head just exploded with the wonderfulness of this image.

[gets up and jumps around].

Marvelous. Just magical and minimalist, and blurred, and all the things I adore in an image. My fave of the challenge so far. For what it's worth...


Made my week.

Not necessarily my favorite, but the one I just got in the Payphones challenge....

Great title. Goes perfectly with the image and it's oblique lighting.


I was quite happy with my spur-of-the-moment title, and I had totally fallen in love with this image BECAUSE of......its oblique lightingf.

Thanks Johanna, for the many comments you've graced me with in the past, and especially for nailing exactly what I was hoping to convey with this one.

Gosh...I just couldn't choose! I don't just love one potato chip...I love the WHOLE BAG!

Tanguera's gift of comment celebrates her emotions and thoughts into generous prose which wholeheartedly embues the reader with the feeling that she really cares about what she sees in an image. Her willingness to share so openly weighs her comments like platinum on the scale of authenticity!

Johanna, Thanks so much for ALL of the comments!

my favorite tango dancer... always leaves comments that are more creative/poetic than my entry. Thanks Johanna!

Also a tanguera fan here.

'There is something very terrifying about it to me, as though he's being sucked up by the dark forces he's conjured with his own missteps. It has stayed with me long after first viewing it. '

Which is precisely the sort of response i was after with the image so i was very happy.

"Truly portentous...Louis, you have the most astonishing eye."

Unfortunately, I'm not a member any more and can't post the image.

Not many comments from tanguera yet, but I love the few I've had... like this one. Gives me a perspective of my own photos that I haven't thought of.

Marvelous. I love how there is just a hint of logic, embedded in a sea of chaos.
