    Wow! Excellent work Michael.. this loos fantastic and I agree with photogenique.. very film noir! The figure and yellow pole almost look as if they are in a staring competition! Great work!

    Michael this is so sensational to me – Just love everyhting about this image, from the dark tones to the impact of the yellow pole (I too, am fascinated with yellow poles)... the figure just adds so much to the image, especially the way it is just there, almost part of the static landscape… seriously amazing image… I JUST LOVE IT!

    Fantastic shot, you’ve captured the loneliness and isolation well, it speaks volumes! You depict urban living so well in much of your work.

    Excellent work …it just seems so right ... we should all have a yellow pole in our lives to ground us.

    Honest to Pete I have no idea but this one has me busting out laughing like a little kid!!!! GREAT image, technically … I guess it’s your title … really gets the imagination spinning!!! BIG fun!!!!!!

    Ok, I just spent another several minutes on this one … I think the catch is … the pipe seems to be staring at the man … and vice versa. It’s nearly 1:00 am here … I must be getting punchy … but I LOVE it!!!!
