Devine light. It has a real Ying & Yang thing going.
Lee Burgess
I LIKE this Paul!!!! So very cool!!
That single man walking away from what looks like the end of the earth.. And the wonderful bare trees… Not to mention the underearth… Very impressive!!
Sharon Hammond
this is just special Paul
~ Ademac
Great piece PV…......you the master.
Christina Norwood
Great concept, and execution of course.
Cathleen Taraw...
True, it could be a whole Days of Our Lives world under there for bugs… and others we may not know about….
kipishiux
Wow! Great shot! Very impressive.
Christian Hartung
well done and great perspective on what you believe is underneath us, fantastic
Lisa Jewell
I wrote a piece earlier on – Moments. This is part of it…
Her face seeks the ground beneath
A vastitude of nothingness
A timeline unmeasured
A dateless existence
Yet looking at your image, I see that there is indeed a whole series of life beneath…..
Stunning work Paul…
Paula Delley
Wow that is cool Paul! Nice editing ;)
Imber
Eye-catching colours with a message! Well done!
Jo O'Brien
Too many Gregory Crewdson books before bed! :)
Paul Tupman
Cool image Paul.. is the world really this way or are we just looking at it upside down? Turn it around and its still a corker, only that guy might fall off! Great colours and composition in this…
mayuphoto
The world we live in is 10% in consciouse, 90% unconscious – we all connect in underneath but what we see is the only tip of an ice burg… GREAT image Paul. I love it!
HeidiD
Beautiful…
Jessica Tremp
very clever
Ian James
Super cool I got to get me one of those planar sectional cut lenses. It could have been interesting to have included a skeleton in the ground to give it a sinister twist. Great concept.
Mel Brackstone
Impressive image, Paul, I love the underworld underground, and the light is wonderful on top
Bones
This is amazing, you’re quite incredible. Great piece
Juilee Pryor

Jase812
Wow Paul , this is fantastic. well done !
greenbeards
this is really interesting, somehow appearing to me as layered slices of earth prepared for a sandwich.
Michael Kienhuis
Cool work Paul! Wonderful
Douzy
Powerful visually – definitely one my favourite of yours.
Colin Cartwright
Interesting half and half concept, backing your title.
Good use of the solitary figure in the landscape for human scale and interest.
Fine light and dark.
Robyn Lakeman
Wow what an amazing imagination you have and the capture is just superb with golden sun glow coming through those blue/grey clouds, my favourite type of light.
Hans Kawitzki
so that what it looks like…..we are walking on a carpet,great concept
Carisma
Thought Provoking….like most good photography should be…
Geir Floede
Great light. Great idea and superb art work. Congrats.
Alateia
oooo paul, i’m there! i love where you take your imagery
Brad Hutchings
Wow!! This is amazing!!
bearhat
brilliant. thought-provoking. reminds me of the sensation when you suddenly get a sense of being on a rock in space and expect at any moment to fall into the sky. i love that vertigo feeling.
gordonatant
Paul, an excelent take on things, If the man wasn’t there it looks like you could have the image any way up. I am liking the light on the trees too!
lawrencew

Colin Tobin

Excellent work Paul.
ElitePhotoArt

Linda Sannuti

Vedran Arnautovic
after looking at it long and hard, I still can’t say whether the bottom looks more like a reflection of the above earth image or a representation of roots and the underground…very captivating
Marc Evans IPA
Great work ! Well done….
GlennRoger

Great image – great idea – great question!
Suzanne :)
J.K. York
i love the inversion mirror. what a great idea. i don’t think we are even looking at it halfway my friend, but the duality has its own beauty none the less.
Martin Derksema
Wow. What a great theme. This is so facinating. And such a strong depiction of the theme. The upper world bathed in light and the dark underworld. Oh, well, I think we see the top of the iceberg. Live excists mostly in our mind. And if ten people watch this image, ten people see different things. We see ouselves reflected in the world. But great parts of ourself live on subconscious levels. We can’t even see all of ourselves, so how could we see all of the world.
bodymechanic
fantastic treatment with a lateral thinkers slant to open everyones eyes!well done
Sande Elkins
This is indcredible!!
jianina
Even the dark beneath is beautiful>>lovely work…love the sole man peering into the blank….as if there were nothing beyond, or waiting were he stands because over the edge there is EVERYTHING>>>this piece is very symbolic to me…LOVE IT :)
pauldrobertson
extraordinary work
Robert Knapman
C’est tres magnifique
Helene Kippert
Great work Paul and yes I tend to believe that what we see is only 5-10% of what is really there.
Louise Cooke
wow, love this! So much to contemplate here…visually and mentally rich. Fantastico!
majo
like the idea of going back to the roots
shanghaiwu
pure brilliance/you are full of surprises
JanG
It is interesting that when I click on the thumbnail it pops up on my screen with only the top half showing. Then I scroll down and there is a whole world below. We definitely miss a lot as we wander through our routine days, oblivious. Thanks for the reminder that there is much more if we pay attention-above, below, beyond, around.
Walter Colvin
Fantastic image, very nice job,
Globalphotos

Julie Langford
Very cool work Paul – Love this concept and thats excellent editing
ltruskett
Too bad you don’t have any talent…...............lol…...................LOVE IT. SO CLEVER.
Rhana Griffin
What lies beneath… I wonder if your figure is trying to find a hidden doorway to the dark, or if he is a creature of the light. Interesting concept Paul, superb excecution as always.
Deborah Parkin
Beautiful image Paul – love the colours in this – this would be a perfect place for me to be – when the sky is dark but the land is bright – that just creates a real peace within me. A great concept too.
Paul Vanzella

Well Deborah – I have you to thank… it was you who suggested we drive from Edinburgh to the Lake District and this landscape was taken along that drive… so you are so part of this image… huge thanks!

jerry alcantara
amazing like always
Gerijuliaj
Great photo Paul and interesting concept. As most of our unconscious mind is unused – makes you wonder what we would see if we could work out a way to ‘tap’ into the 90% we don’t use. You obviously are already! I think photography and art in general helps you to see the world in a way that helps expand our consciousness.
Christina Martin
Awesome image very thoughtful
BlaizerB

The concept and the visual ambiguity keeps me coming back to this image. Also really like the sky softness Paul.

Indeed, so much of our lives are hidden away…..underneath…..there is just so much more….
Gaurav Dhup

Rosina Lamberti
Wow Paul , this is fantastic.
aglaia b

jemimalovesbigted
very gregory crewdson, wonderful imagery!
Diana Forgione
Wow! my hand is getting tired from scrolling to the bottom of your list of comments. Very interesting photo. I’ve always had a theory that the part of the tree that is underground is very similar to the part that is above ground.
jiba
This is very powerful, looks like a small one manned island that has broken away from the rest of civilization and is taking a journey towards the middle of a storm.
Christopher Bi...
love the scale of this
Sensiworld
Wow, great ! Great composition.
Love the reflection.
Tania Rose
Earth – Big
Mankind – Small
Surface – Superficial
Underbelly – Deep
Such a shame we spend so much time just skimming the surface.
Thanks for such a graphic representation of what should be the obvious. Tx
