This is spectacular! Awesome composition, rich colour and well used subject!

This is such an amazing structure to photograph, and you've done it justice with this low angle!

Fantastic processing of an already beautiful shot. It really does look like a macro shot!

Beautifully captured texture and the superb lighting enhances the antique feeling very well. Techincally very well executed!

I do however think that the frame is more of a detraction than an enhancement to the overall image. The rest of the post processing is very nice though.

The subject is great and the intended point of view is well chosen, but unfortunately the image is let down by soft focus, and the fact that it is not perfectly symetrical.

This is a prize winner. Focus is spot-on, the timing perfect, and motion depicted by a well chosen shutter speed is outstanding.
Luck counts...
Your experimentation and perseverance paid off!

Outstanding artwork, beautifully lit.

The shallow dof which outs the tip of the fork out of focus is a little distracting to me. It seems from the exif data that you had lots of room to make the apperture smaller.

The concept is an absolute winner though... I can see this up on a restaurant wall...
Well done!

Fantastic play between the shapes of the umbrella and the structure behind. The editing compliments the composition well.

Beautiful moody lighting gives this boy great character. The composition adds to the solitude of the shepard.
A note would have been helpful.

Considering the equipment, this is a spectacular photograph. This is not something you see everyday, and it's great that you improvised to share the experience.

Well done!
