6:40am to Rome

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

Stunning, love the perspective.

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:)

Nice one

Yea – what Kim said. Great work Paul.

Wow – this gives me vertigo. Great composition Paul.

Amazing composition. Very traumatic and provocative dude!

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.

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

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

Have a great trip

Just fantastic : )

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

just FANTASTIC, everything about it is awesome.

so cool , would have loved to have been there to see how you got the angle on that shot , the mind boggles ! amazing work

WOW – awesome comments guys, really appreciate it so much, and yes, Lindsay got it one!

I do really love your work

ooooooooooo amazing Paul

What a phenomenal image. Amazing.

Great work!

very clever

nice inversion

That is a great concept paul it reminds me of a painting by Salvadore Dali

Transcendent!

This is pretty cool…...

great angle and colours. love it

a really good vanishing point

this is insane. amazing!

awesome pic

oh wuauuuu i guess after all this comments i have litlle else to say that I agree with all of them!!! awesome pic!!!

This is pretty cool. I really like the angle that this has been taken.

Very imaginitive. I’d write more but I have to go out and try shooting upside down now!

Thats Called Art!!!

Extra FAVOURITE!

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

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!

Without words, congratulations Paul

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!!!!

This is very cool. Your ideas are amazing Paul!

Great composition, love the height illusion

what a great shot…...i love the dark tone…...

I like this the way you took the shot. Great perspective! Bravo!

I LOVE THIS SHOT

Stunning! Really great works in your gallery!

I love this image. Nicely done.

very interesting shot, great composure ;)

cool concept, nicely done

Very cool image!!

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

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

this is such an awesome pic! i love the perspective and the lighting, wow, it all just works so great!

am*azi*ng perspective!

Wow! This is crazy! Good crazy, of course, but crazy!

wow! I love it, well done.

jesus crucified on a bed of pebbles…great shot.

It somehow seems “right.” Great image.

I love this! It makes me feel dizzy, but I love it1

this makes my head spin but I love it. what a fantastic image!

This is superb. the more i look at it the more it feels like im falling into m monitor. great presentation.

ok now this is amazing.

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!

wow, this is brilliant, i love it!

Your pictures are so interesting…you really have to look…I can’t help going back to them for another stare

original..fantastic

wow! This is a sweet shot!!

cool image great persoective

cool image, great perspective :)

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

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.

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

missed this, great composition, perspective. well done paul

Stunning image, pin sharp and superb perspective!

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

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.

this is very powerful

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…

Wow! Stunning!

this is just awesome. very cool composition.

yes

YES great image/love your creative flare with industrial style and self
superb to see this on homepage
no /BRILLIANT

Wow

i’m speechless

Sweet

Fantastic!

Fantastic image Paul.

brilliant,simply viewing it upside down is amazing.this one should be published widely. nice work paul

That’s very disturbing .. in a good way

it takes a lot to laugh – it takes a train to be crucified… (with apologies to Dylan!)

Great image man!

I cant believe I missed this it`s Fabulous!!!! Amazing work Paul… Love it!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic twist. The simple flip of the image makes a world of difference. Great!

Amazing persepective. I can’t stop looking at it.

I am so pleased you are still with us, dear. Another stunner.

gr8 work, sense of height almost, clever, cheers.

thirilling!!

wow, great picture

exellent! great idea behind!

man this is an amzing image.

abosoueltly stunning, well done paul

love it maaan….awesome creative image… favouriting …....

Brilliant….fantastic shot….Love this so much. Powerful image. GREAT !!!!!

i LOVE the religious portrayal in this. Too good. Well done mate.

Nice perspective.

Wow! Awesum image and idea

Excellent shot

christ has returned!!!..... powerful and super!!

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

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

Unique!

Sense of adventure! Genius at work!

WOW! i love the V that the track makes. The angle really sets this image off, perfect….

I have had to look at this for along time before commenting.
Quite brilliant!

Cool, love the JS pose.

This is super amazing!! Fantastic work!

Nice work. I looked at your other stuff and you are really talented.

Awesome comp & pov :)K

Ha! I love the caption. incredibly emotive piece.

love the composition in this picture, well lit & just a beauty to view

that’s incredible pic!!!Cant stop to admire your style…btw last year i missed my train to rome too! We were in christmas holidays and it was really difficult to buy a new ticket!
this italian video is about a maybe lost train…

cheer,

^-
kristal

amazing perspective

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

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.

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

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…

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.

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

Excellent!!

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

this is really neat!

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!

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

great idea to flip the image, gaves it a hole new perspective

Wow this is a really great image i really love it.

Yep… still my fave ;)

I was just checking =)))

I don’t normally comment with a WOW…..as I tend to like to respond with a bit more thought, but I’m here to say I’m at a loss for words…

I keep repeating in my head WOW….

Sorry Paul, best I can do….I’m breathless…with the Wowing….

love it!!!

hmmm i see a martyr… symbolism here is strong… the cross shape your body forms and the vanishing point really work well!

Fantastic image with an amazing sense of depth. I almost had to hang onto my chair as I felt I was going to fall into it!

you’re a freak. thats all i can say. smartass!!! :)

lovely shot and interesting concept.

Amazing image, Paul.

I dont think I’ve commented earlier….(would take too long to find me in the list above lol!) but this is an amazing shot…..and delivered with such a Bang…..LOVE that you have rolled the frame….which impacts a whole lot harder than if you had left it…..the perspective is a total Mind Blower…..I love the whole thing…including your title….Sensational work!!

THIS is probably my most FAV pic here of all times…...........WOWWWWW!

Fabulous revers picture. A new christ for Rome !!

amazing

a master piece! fabulous!!!

very strong image! fantastic work

Lol, dude, that’s amazing! (How’d you get up there lol)

amazing

I lovee your work
