this is brilliant! absolutely a Winner if ever there was one! I love the action, the lighting, and the whole idea! Deserves top marks for creativity, composition and the daring cheek to attempt and succeed in something like this!

Yup

Even ignoring the thousand ways a shot like this could go wrong, it's quite an achievement. Add the level of difficulty and it's off-the-charts good. Fun, too.

A stand-out winner in my book.

Brilliantly done, and a technical nightmare too.

Should be hung in a museum. I think I recognize the handwriting. You have humour and are very good with added lighting techniques, I noticed this before. This should win the competition, hope it does given the late entry.

Congratulation on winning the Soul competition with this very inventive shot. Very well done. I have no idea of how this shot landed in the top box on the front page after the win, but maybe Glen did some inventive arrangements as well :-). Best wishes Knut

Thanks

Thanks guys for your comments and ratings, I appreciate you rating it so highly. I am planning to develop this image into a series so expect to see more soon. I am sure I will be able to fine tune and improve the technique further. Cheers Guys
