Magnificent effect!! I like very much this curvature of your photography...

awesome wideangle -okay it's a fisheye, but it is a very good idea for such a 'fun-pic'. love the shiny details and the autumn feeling.
2 Dec 2009 7:53am
Wonderful how you turned such an ordinary object into something so extraordinary and eerie. Great work!
2 Dec 2009 8:07am
Very inviting bench whose shadow seems to open its arms to the human presence (yours ? ;) Love this eye in ours, and the people in distance (if i'm correct ?) and that whiteness of the ground, as if something had landed... Beauty ? Sure !

That fisheye is giving you some great opportunities. That bein what these building. Superb photo
Kind regards

You are in the picture ! You and the bench. It is the world of this lomo fisheye.
2 Dec 2009 11:03am
Fisheye shots are usually frontal, but you've gone sideways making for an unusual treatment.
2 Dec 2009 12:37pm
Creative and intriguing.
2 Dec 2009 12:40pm
What a strange feeling compo. Excellent!
2 Dec 2009 12:46pm
I think the Lomo gives some strange and interesting effects here; that little person with the small shadow must be you (as small?) :)?
2 Dec 2009 12:57pm
WOW ! So very creative. Love the light..the mysterious mood.
2 Dec 2009 1:20pm

2 Dec 2009 3:50pm
a faaabulous 'snow-globe' image here Sharon, this framing invites me to stand where you stand -- and see the world that you see: intriguing, enigmatic, full of shadows and beautiful!!!
2 Dec 2009 3:54pm
Great shot !!! I love the post process too !!
2 Dec 2009 4:14pm
Most unusual, yet impressive image. I see you like looking through keyholes too :)
2 Dec 2009 4:18pm
Dynamite fisheye shot, Sharon. I love the infrared look.
2 Dec 2009 4:26pm
a bench is a very dramatic photo! you captured the drama here! nice work!
2 Dec 2009 5:05pm
Beautiful dramatic effect, I like very much the b/w and the illustration of the verses of Emily Dickinson. Very good.
2 Dec 2009 5:39pm
i love the darkness and mysterious quality of this.
2 Dec 2009 6:08pm
Really mysterious scene...This is masterly photo! Very creative.
2 Dec 2009 6:33pm
I love the fish eye affect. Very nice B&W processing, and you have a very nice looking shadow if you don't mind my saying so.
2 Dec 2009 7:37pm
@Ralph Jones: Why thank you Ralph. I know, it's that big camera bag I am wearing, draws them in every time ;-)
Gives an original and creative point of view. As you were up on a scale !
2 Dec 2009 8:17pm

a Cyclops devouring the photographer's shadow with his eye ... a scary scene well shown
2 Dec 2009 10:03pm
lol at yz's comment....
very cool shot with your new lens?
2 Dec 2009 10:08pm
A sunny day; a nice change from all the rain! This is a beautiful shot out the port hole on an alien spaceship from the fifties. Very cool!
2 Dec 2009 10:13pm
I like the straigt line through the frame drawn by the bench and implied by the shadow's direction and the distant tree.
2 Dec 2009 10:35pm
very nice and interesting processing ,sharon !!
i like it !
kiss !
2 Dec 2009 10:36pm
Something evil this way comes.... I find this a bit creepy, but a masterpiece as well.
3 Dec 2009 12:23am
After walking through all the fog a bench in the sun can really be very inviting. Superbly framed shot.
3 Dec 2009 1:39am
Great composition and beautiful fisheye , congratulations !
3 Dec 2009 2:37am
Beautiful - and to me it looks like a scene through a hobbit-hole!
3 Dec 2009 2:43am
very cool, with the bright light and
hard shadows.
it feels kinda spooky!
3 Dec 2009 4:17am
Cool spooky shot with great light and shadow play.
3 Dec 2009 4:58am
Wonderful composition and mood...I like the bench, but my eye wanders off into the distance...I'd like to go off deep into those woods...who knows what lies there??? Great work!
3 Dec 2009 6:17am
Strange and fantastic...light and shadow....a great capture
3 Dec 2009 6:22am

What a gem, Sharon. I just want to get lost in that jungle of yours. Brilliant feel & such an intense great piece of art! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
3 Dec 2009 12:12pm
a strange picture...for a strange eye :) :)
but a good feeling !!!
3 Dec 2009 1:28pm
Looks like you have zeroed in on a creepy character up to no good. A great and original image.
3 Dec 2009 3:48pm
Really like your fish eye serie Sharon. That's give a moody atmosphere! Great!
4 Dec 2009 1:54am
A perfect Dickinson observation for this image. Bravo.
4 Dec 2009 3:34am
i actually disagree with Dickenson there... i think our souls should be shut up all cozy coz JESUS IS WITHIN :) this is a great shot, is that your shadow?
4 Dec 2009 6:40am
Beautiful!!! The shadow needs to sit down for a while... :)
4 Dec 2009 10:00am
Un très bel effet de lorgnette!!
Tu apparais comme le fantôme de ce parc...
Bonne journée.
4 Dec 2009 11:38am
Strange picture, between night and artificial day. I appreciate the hard shadows.
4 Dec 2009 12:04pm
Excellent fisheye! I am asking for one for Christmas. *fingers crossed that Santa brings one ;0)*
4 Dec 2009 1:54pm
photo, très mystérieuse.
le banc est vraiment très bien prix.
Excellent
4 Dec 2009 9:33pm
The old circular fisheye always looks good. Excellent for city shots as well, love seeing buidings all merging into each other. Here, it looks good out in the open as well.
5 Dec 2009 3:01pm
its a wonderful shot and the B&W has made it more influential!
5 Dec 2009 6:26pm
Great effect here from the lens and the dramatic light and shadows. Love the mysterious and eerie mood, excellent work!
5 Dec 2009 6:45pm
Love the shadow and the bright sunshine. One would think it is a little spooky, but I like spooky!! : )
5 Dec 2009 6:47pm
I love that camera (but I sold it). Congrats that you got your Lomo!
7 Dec 2009 9:31am
@Howard F.: Thanks Howard. Yes, I'm having a lot of fun with the fisheye. Like the holga, I find using it a kind of feeling of freedom :)
Love the circular view of the scene. Creates an interesting atmosphere.
