this really makes me think of being scared and alone....wish his feet were in the shot.

King said 570 days ago:

I know just how he feels, poor soul. He appears to be in pretty good shape, though, so I guess he isn't going hungry.

Interesting edges on this image. The work of some artist, I suppose (that's a compliment). I think I see where you are coming from on the crop (he's crowded into a corner), but I don't think I'd have cropped through his foot *if I had the choice*. Did you have the choice?

High marks, in general.

ChriZ said 570 days ago:

Thanks a lot for the comments!
I was just did that shot, self portrait, and I actually liked that the foot was cut of! This person isn't important enough to be framed all the way in the image!

Ana said 570 days ago:

I see what you're saying about the foot, ChriZ, but I would have left more out, not just a touch. Makes it look accidental instead of on purpose.

ChriZ said 570 days ago:

croping it on the left would have gotten away the wall between the legs and the left border...
so i pretty much was stuck =)
Guess I bending the knee a bit more and bringing the foot further towards the camera might have helped!
or stretching the leg,... na would be too relaxing.
Phu, I might re-shoot it, but just because of you guys!

I really like this image, everything from the framing to the tears in the wallpaper add to the broken feel.

Dave_Mac said 570 days ago:

Very emotive shot and a creative contribution.

ChriZ said 570 days ago:

@mtmartini, thanks for liking the framing =)
Guess I won't have to re-shoot it after all
@Dave_Mac Thanks for the compliment!

Tanja said 570 days ago:

great shot chriso...maybe a star in the sky :)...like i said awesome take one of your best! looking at it closer might of been nice to have seen more of your other foot..but high marks anyhow!

Mini-Amateur said 570 days ago:

This is very good! It fits the theme very well and I like that the wallpaper are broken too. Cool!

Hummingbird said 570 days ago:

Everything about this says broken to me on all levels.

Montage said 570 days ago:

Excellent. High scores from me. A very powerful image.

King said 570 days ago:

ChriZ...still on a roll, I see: EIGHT IN A ROW! :>)

Congratulations!

Depressing but on the money ChriZ. You better not get too many more in a row, I can't count past 11...

King said 570 days ago:

ChriZ...talk about the border of this image, if you will.

ChriZ said 570 days ago:

@mooch, what does that mean? depressing but on the money?

@King, well,... it's photoshop, I thought it suited it well, having no border would have made it look to flat! Just a way of getting the right mood!
What's your opinion?

King said 570 days ago:

ChriZ...I like it a lot. I want to steal it! What did you do?

I usually don't mess much with borders, but I think this is well done and suits the photograph.

ChriZ said 570 days ago:

Brushes and an eraser and layers =)
