Wow, what an expressive capture... GL Reply »

You got it, one of the few photos that actually involves running. great photo. Reply »

Impressive capture Reply »

Congrats for the nice composition! Reply »

Great, and I have no idea what it is. Reply »

Nice, is it some sort of tunnel? Reply »

Would love to know where and what this is! Great Shot! Reply »

I'll wait a little to tell you what it is ^_^ Reply »

This is obviously done by putting one mirror in front of another, and it seems to me that the place, where the shot was taken, isn't very large.. Just thoughts =) Looking forward to know what it is! Reply »

These are my initial thoughts as well because of the straight-lined uniformity in reduction in size of the "lights" with the added innovation of mirrors on the side and thus we see the duplication in the faint mirrored lights behind the real lights. Just guessing of course. Reply »

I can see the neon tubing in the hi res...but still VERY perplexing as to what it is. Excellent! Reply »

Is it a mirror box? Great Shot! Reply »

Yes it's almost that... A tunnel of neon and black mirrors. At every horizontal line you see above there's a sliding black mirror. Every 5 minutes the first is sliding so you can see the reflections on the one behin ... and so on. Here the mirror is at the 6th line. Reply »

looks like some background in Tron Reply »

Great shot ! Reply »

WOW, GL
Surely would like to know how you realized this amazing shot....?? Reply »

Excellent panorama! Did you do it with the tripod or just simply lay on the floor ? Reply »

Well... this is a nice one, obvious great effort. can I ask how much time you spent on it?!!
I'll fav and high mark it but just for the record I think that horizontal panorama's are more comfortable to the eyes than the vertical one's. Reply »

I love how the people at the bottom are looking up through your image Reply »

Now that's taking the theme (orange) literally. Nice shot BTW. Reply »

You were deep in theme...

I really love this one, reminds me of Ansell Adam, don't know if he ever did any Cactai, but that's who came to my mind. Reply »

A good example of the theme. Impressive shot, I'm glad you shared. My father-in-law landed on Omaha Beach Reply »

That is a really cool looking building, but I can't help but wonder why places think their Opera houses need to be so avante garde. It's not like opera is thought of as cutting edge. Modern Art, maybe. But opera? *shrug* Reply »

Excellent photo and angle of the shot. I thought it a Photoshop manipulation, and thought, "What the ???" and then saw it was for the Photography contest...Very well done! Reply »

Unique! Well done author. And, kyri, you can't be more right. One would expect opera houses to look old fashioned. Since opera is a form of art from the past, then why should it go hand in hand with modernity? Reply »

Great photo and building, Spain has some amazing art and architecture Reply »

Lovely Reply »

Great idea! And a beautiful smile! Reply »

Great shot with a natural smile on a little kid. I like the shadow of the frame on the background Reply »

Beautiful Reply »

not really garbage, just a mess on a surface. Reply »

To a degree, it's still garbage. Reply »

I agree with Ade on this one Reply »

If its not garbage what would you intend on doing with it? Eati it? Do you have a drawer full of pencil shaving's? I would throw it away. Reply »

That's why I say to a degree, it's garbage. What else can you do with it? It's just something you commonly throw away. Perhaps a shot of sweeping it into a dustpan would have sealed the garbage classification. But it's still on theme. Reply »

I agree jaws. Reply »

Even if it's small, I thought everything that would be thrown in the bin was considered as "garbage".
Reply »

I would think that this definitely falls under the garbage definition as the creator of the contest defined it. Reply »

Its a minimalists idea of garbage. But still garbage. I like the simplicity of the shot. good luck!

Reply »

Generally not a fan of the 'cute' entries, I feel people end up voting them high because of the cute factor rather than the actual photo. In this case however I think it is composed very well, taken very well and it tells a story. GL Author, great shot. Reply »
