I would have been tempted to get more sky behind the gate to bring out the metalwork but you chose to shoot it straight on at eye level allowing the wall and the building outside (or inside) the gate to obscure the metalwork decreasing the gate's importance in keeping with the lowercase 'gate' in the title. I like the little bit of gate shadow at the bottom and the way the path leads to the center of the omega symbol in the gate. Tremendous symbolism if you want to see it. John Palcewski 'Italian Girl In Pink' - I agree with Andy. This beach girl definitely looks Canadian. I don't see much symbolism in this shot. The low camera angle gives me the impression this was shot from the hip while pretending to adjust camera or maybe while sitting on a bench pretending to talk on iPhone. I'm not saying it was shot that way but to me it has that feel to it. Michael Hughes 'Pretty ring time' - The ring is kind of lost in a jumble of fingers here. It is indeed and instersting ring but it is has a lot of competition from fingers that lead my eye out the bottom of the image. Pini Vollach 'Three figures' - Interesting shot here. The boy is in deep, deep shadow. The thermos handle obscures the man eating from a spoon and even the face of the car babe on the wall is in shadow. The three figures (if I read that right) are all obscured in some way. Perhaps the remote village near Kalaw itself is being obscured or just he residents. I cannot tell from the photo but the message is clear. Dan Mitchell 'Triple-vision' - I like the way the red cart woman appears thrice in the image but I am very disappointed the blue-black cart lady becomes a mere shadow in her second and third incarnation. After all, of the two women, she is the only one that smiled at me. Its interesting too that her shadow remains pretty solid while she, herself fades out. I feel sad. Andrew Davidhazy 'Annie' - While I, of course, refute the claim that the camera is the only one of its kind, I will say this. The image freaked out my daughter so that's good enough for me. She has not seen any of your evil optical ways before. I, on the other hand find it really cool. One question though. I really want to take this image into Photoshop and close up the gap but I am not that good at radial transformations. So here's my question - Why the gap? Is there some inherent mechanical reason why you cannot make a conical panoramic strip camera that creates a closed image or are you just too damn lazy? Greg
