Was just perusing your portfolio and stumbled on this gem. I think I like your image more than Rosenthal's, actually. Reason being, is that there are some things that feel like they are literally getting ripped out of reality, erased, while others retain existence.
Very, very, cool.
I haven't seen Ken Rosenthal's shot before. So seeing your shot first was my first impression. I immediately thought Jeckyll & Hyde. Both mysterious. Yours is Hyde, with the brighter face. and his is Jeckyll with the back turned and darker silhouette. Can't say I like one better than the other. They both offer something unique.
You know how you wake up in the morning and everything starts as a blur and then things begin to come into focus? This is what I feel like is happening here. I keep looking at the dark figure in the foreground and I expect him to be clear any moment now. Really cool style.
