  • ~ Selle

    WOW!!!

    How do you continue to turn the everyday into something remarkable? Love your Smart approach ….....but this has an almost pointillist feel to it.

    It’s extraordinary anyway you look at it :)

    How did you resist the urge not to push that wheel LOL. I love the way you find that negative space and turn it into a masterpiece!! that sky looks painted, fantastic work PV.

    wow a scene out of some amazing ‘B’ movie that plays once late night and for ever in your head… great work Paul…..

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    Why on earth would a giant blue reel and a bunch of what look like bombs half buried be doing on a hill!! whatever the reason… I love asking the question! :D I really like how the shadow on one of the ‘bombs’ makes it look like theres a number 7 on it. And then the ‘witnesses’ add perspective and something very special.
    Just surreal… yet everyday!! And of course I love it!!

    Marvelous….........................for me the surreal quality of this image gives a timeless character and ambiance.

    Where do you find these wonderful abstract works of art Paul. With the PVZ treatment, it looks so surreal …

  • John Jovic

    Love this one.

    Your work always bowls me over, Paul. Your landscapes appear to be a product of story books, but what stories they are! The questions they make me ask are probably stranger than the answers I’d get and the worst thing is I waste too much time trying to deconstruct the images rather than enjoy them for their surreal and engaging qualities….this one is going to keep me guessing for quite awhile, I think! Awesome work!!

    Simply sublime

    the placement of the horizon really makes this sepcial, simply brilliant

    as for the elements within the image who the hell knows ?
    Oh Yeah Paul probably but is he telling ? ? ?

    wonderful work Paul

    Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

    Fantastic Paul, love the scale and of course your fabulous signature treatment!! Awesome work!!

  • Gustav Nordlund

    Gustav Nordlund

    Really amazing image. My first thought was that those things on the right were missiles about to be ground to dust by that big wheel… Did you shoot this at the same time as this or did you go back to that plantation again?

  • deepbluwater

    deepbluwater

    Fascinating image Paul! everything, -the path, people, clouds & grass, brings the eye right to those what-the-heck-are-they giant objects. A ginormous reel and a collection of missiles? love this. It leaves us, like the people in the image, saying “what the heck?”. The answer being “I don’t know” but you make it look absolutely intriguing & fantastic!

  • socalgirl

    socalgirl

    Wow. What an eye you have.

  • Dave Hiskey

  • Shanina Conway

    Oh I love the scale of this and the touch of grunge…don’t know what it is but can’t help buying into it;)

  • Tracey Mac

    They appear to be waiting for it to roll and mow down the pins…....classic style Paul, love the illustrative treatment on yet another superb page in your book.
    Excellent image, gorgeous clouds and tones…...

    I agree with Selle – that noise visible in the sky is different from your pictures’ usual sheen, but it works really well.

    there’s so much about this i like .. the huge reel bellowing down to roll over the (unlucky) number 7 .. again, a brilliant capture and story all produced in true PV style.
