such a cool image!

peter, about 1 year ago

Great work Paul … I love the way this image runs away from the eye so quickly.

FireRabbit, about 1 year ago

Stunning, love the perspective.

Kim Shillington, about 1 year ago

Oh this is FAB paul, not only do I love the perspective but the dark tones really add to the piece. Railway tracks always make for such interesting shots, they give a nice line for your eye to travel with. I love the bound man, your eye leads right to him. Love this, thank you Paul for sharing:)

RonnySimulacrum, about 1 year ago

Nice one

Naomi Mawson, about 1 year ago

Yea – what Kim said. Great work Paul.

Flamejob, about 1 year ago

Wow – this gives me vertigo. Great composition Paul.

Emma King, about 1 year ago

Amazing composition. Very traumatic and provocative dude!

Lindsay Blamey, about 1 year ago

Great self portrait – it works really well… Has a real sense of (creative) freedom to it. Its a great idea and I think its a great portrayal of what looks like a liberated Paul Vanzella.

Karen Lewis, about 1 year ago

Awesome image ! Refreshingly different perspective with great impact. Top job! Karen :-)

JohnnyVinyl, about 1 year ago

Paul Vanzella!!!!!
Bustin’ out a Jesus Christ pose.
Excellent shot. Love it.
Say hi to our kin.

Have a great trip

Kenneth Pang, about 1 year ago

Just fantastic : )

kathleen, about 1 year ago

this plays with my eyes, the lines, he seems to be hanging on by a thread, almost floating, or sliding… not sure if that explains it but he dosn’t seem to be connected to the ground at all and yet he is lying upon it…. inspirational photograph

kookylane, about 1 year ago

just FANTASTIC, everything about it is awesome.

Tamarama72, about 1 year ago

minoanphotography, 11 months ago

Extra FAVOURITE!

minoanphotography, 11 months ago

was going to add…. reminds me of Salvadore Dalis Painting of Christ of St. John of the Cross. Awsum Lines great perspective, very cool!

Mel Brackstone, 11 months ago

Its Monday morning, I’m meant to be doing the end of month figures for the ATO….what better place to be than perusing the Paul Vanzella portfolio! I don’t know if anyone had noticed, but is that a nail in your left palm????? The orientation of this is disconcerting to the extreme….fabulous work, Paul!

jonathancarvajal, 11 months ago

Without words, congratulations Paul

Nancy Coyle, 11 months ago

Your work is so fresh and alive! The use of color and composition is outstanding in your entire stream. I truly look forward to each new piece! As Mel Brackstone asked…is that a nail in the left hand? This is incredible and well executed!!!!

Deri Dority, 10 months ago

Very cool image!!

Daniel Rarela, 9 months ago

whoaa… feels like I’m falling….

for some reason this reminds me The Crucifixion… except it’s done on a railroad track and not a cross…. wonder what Jesus would’ve preferred..

either way, amazing work as usual, Paul! the extreme perspective in this image is really striking

Panteli Pyroma..., 9 months ago

OMG!....Love your work Paul!...This one freaks me out!

Melissa Carroll, 7 months ago

halftone, 7 months ago

You look so vulnerable, and yet in control. This would look awesome printed LARGE…..I doubt I’d ever be able to tear my eyes away. What a magnificent image, Paul!

Angi Baker, 6 months ago

Very nicely done, great job… Sorry you missed it but glad it missed you…lol ~A

Rhana Griffin, 6 months ago

The perspective on this one messes with my head… but in a totally cool way! What strikes me here is that he lays there willingly, nothing binds him… Its a train wreck waiting to happen and yet he looks like he simply belongs there.

Marnie Kirkness, 6 months ago

i wonder how many people turned their head upside down to view this too? Its striking, the colour an lighting are fab.

orourke, 5 months ago

missed this, great composition, perspective. well done paul

Richard Shepherd, 5 months ago

Stunning image, pin sharp and superb perspective!

4getsundaydrvs, 5 months ago

i love how this is upside down, it gives a lot more to the image.

Rhana Griffin, 5 months ago

I’m going through my favourites for this… thing, and I just had to pop in and have another look at this one. Yup! It still does my head in.

Paul Vanzella in reply to Rhana Griffin’s comment, 5 months ago

Rhana – you are such the true suppoerter – thank you so much….! Love it how it does your head… sensational!

Kelly Boyle, 5 months ago

this is very powerful

vans, 4 months ago

I fell about laughing when I saw this. The Dali painting “Christ on the Cross” I think is it’s real name, although in Glasgow we just call it ‘The Dali” so I could be wrong, is one of my favourites and this is a tremendous reworking of the idea. It’s making me a little dizzy, though…

Interpretations, 4 months ago

Inishiata, 4 months ago

amazing image – very powerful – seems to be so much symbolism in this image.

T.D. Ruley, 4 months ago

the perspective is what throws me off so bad. that and the fact that your attention
is drawn downward, due to the image being upside down…nice work

Anne Staub, 4 months ago

This is such a cool image and angle! Very Nice!

depressedkat, 3 months ago

I looked at all your photos and i must say this is the one that spoke to me the most. As I viewed my eyes went upside down and I was like whoa that is intense. Nice job. Really like the flipside of the railroad. Pretty sweet.

Arthur Carley, 2 months ago

OMG…. Wow I get a Great sense of Falling from this image !! and yes im afraid of heights ! lol

Rhana Griffin, about 1 month ago

I’m rummaging through your drawers again (if you couldn’t tell ;) Why is it I can NEVER go past this image without opening it? I’m trying to put my finger on the elusive quality that draws me in time and again…

aglaia b, about 1 month ago

wow, what a magical viewpoint.
the vanishing point truly makes me believe that the railroad is really a high rise building that you are attached to.
it looks like you are just about to dive off this building.
love how you’re defiant pose really adds to the perspective and drama.

Paul Vanzella in reply to aglaia b’s comment, about 1 month ago

wow thanks Aglaia… love your interpretation here – many thanks! It was so freezing when I took that shot, but I don’t mind if you nail the shot! Thanks again!

aglaia b, about 1 month ago

oh yes your nipples do look a little…
LOL and you’re more than welcome. ;-)

pene, about 1 month ago

very interesting shot.
it always amaizes me when i see pics like this… how would you come up with the idea??? :)

Lina, 24 days ago

this is really neat!

Clare McClelland, 13 days ago

Reminds me of the centrifuge ride at Luna Park, where you spin so fast you stick to the sides and everything loose gets pulled into the middle – can’t remember the name of it right now!

Paul Vanzella in reply to Clare McClelland’s comment, 13 days ago

sounds like a great feeling… thanks for stopping by Clare!

Tania Rose, about 5 hours ago

mmm…railway tracks. Don’t you just love the railway. so much to shoot, so much to see, so many places to go…this image is so simple, yet is has the complexity of a theatrical shot. great work, Paul

Paul Vanzella in reply to Tania Rose’s comment, about 5 hours ago

thanks so much Tania, spyed this remote track when travelling through northern Italy and it so commanded me to assume the postion! Glad you like!
