First: thanks for all the comments on my first picture of Tabitha Faye – they were very much appreciated; and I'm pleased to say that she's doing really well, as are Libby and the rest of the kids.
As for this one: it was taken on the train this afternoon, and while I'm not convinced it's quite as good as some of the others in this category, I'm reasonably pleased with how it turned out.
Update: it's Thursday evening, and unfortunately I don't have anything to post tonight, but I'm planning on shooting some new material tomorrow.

Spooky n interesting shot - the eyes look so weird. Like it.

I already knew the other shots in this category, and while is not the most striking of them, it's the most mysterious for me.
I'm glad to know that everything is alright with Libby, Tabitha and the kids. :-)

Ah! Back on the train (bus?) again I see. Such a great candid technique. I am lucky enough to have a camera which barely looks like I'm taking direct shots. Caught some interesting train shots in japan last year this way.

David, I really love your window imagery. Haunting this one.

Her eyes are haunting! Dig it.

Was this taken before or after you mobiled Libby and said '' I'm on the train''?
Reflections, windows and distortions really make for absorbing compositions. Always a bit of a lottery though ...and I bet the guy thought you were just some nurd taking a photo of the countryside through grimed up windows. Well I like it .. Nah it's not spooky.

Ooops! ...silly me ...it's a woman.

These always look good, with the subject seemingly looking directly into camera. Whether this one works with the blur is a matter of taste, I guess. This is one I'd perhaps have considered discarding as the blur doesn't add much for me, and you've captured better versions. But still nice, and inspirational. :)

Has a surreal quality to it. I like it.

You spoiled us before with 'between destinations #3', still a great photograph though. Do you have to resort to trains now to get some peace and quiet ;-)
comment byKevin at 07:08 PM (GMT) on 26 April, 2007
that's an awesome technique! Yields very cool results. The color toning really adds to the image as well.
comment bySteveO at 08:52 PM (GMT) on 26 April, 2007
Interesting image, saw your interview and photos on Go Northwest earlier tonight, nice to see you're doing well for yourself mate :-)
I like the tones of this one. I always planed to take shot similar to this one, but when I see a scene like this, I'm always without my camera somehow.
Great one, maybe the double of the left eye is a bit disturbing.
Oh, and congratulations to the baby!

Pong and Richard: this is a man, at least I'm fairly sure it's a man.
owen-b: no, it's not the best one I've done, but I quite like it nonetheless.
jkm: yes, #3 was a bit better than this one, and yes, the train was very peaceful in comparison ;-)
SteveO: sadly, I missed the programme, but I'm glad to hear it was ok.

Fantastic shot. That one eye is really freaking me out.

Thanks all.

This would be a great shot for a CD cover. they eyes are captivating. I like the use of B/w too.
comment by cy at 04:46 AM (GMT) on 28 April, 2007
