Chris, thank you; I can't remember the last time (someone thought) I did something memorable.
Marianne, thank you. Glad you connected with the humor in this image.
Thanks Don; yes, a new toy can sometimes give you a different point of view ;o)
Nigel, thanks man. I needed that. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean ;o)
Thank you Geno, good to see you popping in! Keep well.

There's nothing more exhilarating than a fish-eye image done really well. This is wonderful, and I love the fact that the lens has captured so much of his immediate environment. The whole space is nicely filled with interesting things to look at, and I like the conversion, too. Images like this make me want to run out and buy the 8mm lens, but I'm quite sure it would be useless in my hands (I'm wide-angle challenged as it is, LOL). A really memorable and well done image. I wouldn't mind seeing this in the HOF, either, so I could go back and study it any time I wanted. ;-)

Yes good wide angle shoot I like also the grainy Ilford type of W&W picture from the old good time. Superbe.

This is fabulous - what is really good is that we can see all the details in the shoes and also that they frame his face without which it would only be half as good. Well done

nothing to add here - that's one memorable image. Actually I rather find it unforgettable...

Thank you very much!
A big thanks to all of you! It's really too much of an honor, all credits should go to the model.
(well, it's a self portrait actually, but it felt so good to say that just for once) ;o))

Ah, I was wondering how the "sleeper" managed to stay so still for so long!

On one of my far too infrequent visits to MFT - it's refreshing to find something completely different. Great application for a fisheye, too. Wonderful concept, and brilliantly executed.

Ha, Chris, the sleeper was in a rather comfortable position.
Thank you Stephen. Good of you to visit from time to time; I'm glad you did ;o)

Yes, congratulations, Geert! Definitely one of my favorite images from the last year, and eminently worthy of inclusion in the HOF. It gives me a chuckle and a sense of strong admiration every time I see it. :-)
