    Love the movement of the water and the people outside and then that one guy looking in at the sculpture – that just makes this shot for me.

    I don’t know why that sculpture makes me think of a what a dog would look like if it evolved to a bi-ped…....

    ;)

    I so love this. Everyone going about their business… except for the one kid who recognizes the force. It`s him that will be chosen to save the earth from this race of seemingly harmless skinny guys, this one being merely a scout sent down from the mother ship. God help us, and give this kid the strength he needs to pull it off. Mel, you`ve got my imagination begging you for more… will we survive the holocost? Great work!

    Amazing image Mel, the diffused glass in the background looks as you would imagine a forcefield to look, and you have also captured that added extra with the fella/bloke/guy testing the forcefield by prodding it with his hand, Love it

    oh man, oh man Mel!!! This is creepy and surreal and fantastic and it roils with undercurrents of energy. I’m a sucker for anything sci-fi/fantasy related and this has a whole futuristic vibe for me.

    Wonderful capture. Managed to get a lot of extra value from an already beautiful piece of art. It often intrigued me that taking shots of other art will have something special more then just reporting and here you have done it really nice.
    Good luck with your exhibition – really exciting, wish I could be there LOL

  • Stuart Chapman

    The lighting in this is just superb. No more so than on the wall and the way it reflects on the walkers by and the man standing against the glass. Very strong powerful and compelling image Mel. The water trickling down the glass works so well and once again it’s the light on the floor that makes it to – illuminating everything from below.

    Mel, I love the guy in the background touching the water as it runs down the building. He looks like he wants in. Well done.

    It’s self evident why this is such a popular image. Great timing, light, comp. Your landscapes are always wonderful Mel, but your recent move away from that form of photography is really compelling.
