stunning! That's a perfect shot from every point of view. I expecially enjoy the contraposition of the human being, the geometrical signs on the ground, exposure and contrast. Simply perfect! My congratulations! Cheers, Luca.
Luca Valisari 30-May-2008 at 17:33Very interesting!
The Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. The image taken from the Pacific Ocean? A maze within a mystery? Maybe a scene from a dream?

This is a surreal photo that works.
Chris Wang 31-May-2008 at 16:40Nice... tricky!
I've lived in the Bay Area most of my adult life and this has got me sxratching my head, where in the heck is that! LOL, this is nicely done! Great sense of mystery and composition. Good range of tones, dynamic in that it takes the eye quickly into the background. Photography as storytelling. Excellent.

Thank you very much for your comments, Chris and Lazar! Of the photographs I have taken this is among the few that I am partial to because it is not as "documentary" and invites the viewer to interpretation. Nikhil
