The Puppet Master

Talk about the dark twist of Parkin – Agreed that black background with perfectly exposed image is awesome!!!!!

Incredible control of the light – looks like you’ve been pulling the strings yourself in that department

Stunning image Paul, beautiful B&W tones and the hand movements are fantastic, love it all actually!! :D

Love this! very original work! Bravo!!!!

now this is one of these images that you wish was your own – i so wished i had done this – it is FANTASTIC – beautifully rich and wonderful strong contrast of black and white, which i adore – on top of that, it is classic and original.

Very very good work.. It looks great in black and white.. I love how the “puppet master” is barely coming out of the shadows, like one who bids us to do his will, but is never seen. Really a great shot.

Wow! Thank you all so much for your comments on this one! Really appreciated.. and to put an even bigger smile on my face, I have just sold a card of this too! Thank you so much to whoever bought this, I hope that it looks great.. very big smile here! :-)
