Congratulations on this image that borders on a painting. Striking and subtle at the same time, which is a difficult feeling to achieve in photography.

Pursang and everyonet thank you for your comments. Much appreciated. I'm glad others appreciated the "looking through" portion of this image.

Dan, this one is great! As soon as I saw it on the homepage, I knew it had to be yours. It's really stunning, with the subject so obscured, yet so apparent... if that makes sense.

Jason- I'm glad that you can see my style in the images that I post. I try to post a range of work so this is a very nice compliment. Thanks.

I like the idea of this theme, Looking Through, and subjectively I respond to this picture. The foreground layers have to be looked through to 'find' the indistinct subject - reminding me that we have to learn to look through many layers before we can begin to see something (beyond the aesthetic) - Ceci n'est pas ....

wow - fantastic!
