Creative image, well thought out in staging and in usage of dof. Those blood drops are the icing on this well baked cake!

I like this image for it teaches us to look...look down, look up ....photos are everywhere. I like the high contrast of this and the border holds us within the photo, good call.

I never knew that, THANK YOU. Why then did the magpies in Australia decide to pounce on my husband's bald head I wonder? Could be because they were nesting, or so an Aussie told us. Nice photograph with a story, albeit a wet one.

I really like the artistry of this piece. Very warm colour palette and cold rain makes for good visual juxtaposition.

Anything for the photograph....a true passionate photographer to brave this downpour to get the photo. Did you get soaked? You really caught the downpour well.

Nice stop action here.

Nice one this and your POV rocks. Looks like a bit of snow as well ( he he he he I made a typo error and typed "snot" instead of snow....had myself a good laugh)

Good philosophical discussion here: to objectify a human strips them of their personality and dignity, they become a commodity. This monk is not a commodity, I pray I like the shot and it does echo of religion which is the title of this contest.

Sweet, looks like me eating a banana. LOL

Congrats....ohhhhh sooooo Canadian. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Congrats, a rather handsome fellow.

congrats to you on this sweet photo, sort of reminds me of you LOL!

Big Congrats.

Hey, I live in Thailand and didn't know Lumphini had lizards...yikes. Nice colour here.

Much better in hi res, good thing you mentioned that as the overexposed areas do show photographic information in hi res.

Great stop action here. What was your shutter speed? You managed to not only get the oh wow factor into the image but also it's sharp as a pin. I like how all the attention is focused on one object, every person in your photo is looking at the same place. Great marginal considerations also evident.

I see you and thank you for reminding us to look for photos can be found everywhere. I like your entry.

WOW, thank you for inspiring me to try something like this. I appreciate your notes very much and think your shot is hypnotizing.

I love the colour palette of this post. Yellow, green a touch of blue and that gives a visually exciting photo. It is sharp as a prick! That reminds me of a joke: What is the difference between a cactus and a Ferari driver. With a cactus, the pricks are on the outside!......

This HDR touch is most appealing . I also like that you kept the road in the image showing us the downpour. The vibrancy of colours adds to the visual excitement.

I really like the intentional creative blur with this image. The colours are warm and appealing as well.

Well, as I was putting my stuff up I noticed this one and just wanted to tell you that it looked like a painting, it is so beautiful in gray shades. What surprised me was that a gorgeous Canadian sight like this could look so good in monochrome...has to do something with the photographer, I'm sure

One can learn A LOT from this side of pxleyes thanks to you guys, AND, the best part is you talk to us and guide us....sheesh, how wonderful is that?

HOLY CRAP how in the heck did you do this?...FANTABULOUS, just simply FANTABULOUS.

YOU ARE BRILLIANT and so is your work.

BRILLIANT work thank you for inspiring us "wannabes". CONGRATULATIONS

I would love to meet you at a party. You and your imaginative mind must rock the world of those around you. CONGRATULATIONS.

Ojibway? BIG CONGRATS.

GOOD FOR YOU....BIG CONGRATS.

How sweet and BIG FELICITATIONS.

Congrats to you on this win.

Congrats to you on this win.

BIG CONGRATS

OMG...are you an Aussie? They have some of the deadliest beasts on the planet....imagine being eaten by a salt water croc...ick or a funnel spider and yet I so want to re-visit Australia.

mmmm the colours mesmerize , you brought this out really well and taught us to see beyond the machinery and into the textures, colours and patterns. Wonderful.

Arresting image, to the point, sharp, easy to decipher, just wonderful, should have known it was yours! Brilliant.

Love this, and the humour made me giggle. Nice upload that teaches us to look everywhere for everywhere there is a picture.

I caught the humour (finally) and therefore found this image captivating. Nice imagination you have.

Ohhh she looks scary. We had a black widow in the bathroom in Mexico and when I saw it there I almost jumped out of my skin. thank you for this photo which brings back memories for me.

Mmmm looks to me like you are a friend of spiders. I love how you caught the environment of his dwelling. Really lovely.

Stunning shot , sharp as a whisker....What lens and camera are you using. Top marks for this presentation.

ahhh haaa thought this was yours. A winner in my eyes and the reason I didn't enter this contest, I knew you would be here. Your macros are top of the shelf stunning...hope you are selling them. Really a good shot.

The WOW factor got me. Good one this.

Felicitations. Way to go !

We have a lot of these flowers in Thailand. I had not realized they are rare, good to know, thank you.

I like the visual balance and patterns, nice of you to catch this one.

Straight, well exposed and oh so European that it makes me want to go there...again.

Presented with love. We can tell you thought about the artistic element of this presentation. Your title, which is part of the creative process really 'rocks'.

This has a touch of evil in it, the salience of it has impacted upon me. Grrrreeat.
