Many thanks. The relative scales of the manhole, bird, and picnic table keep yanking me back for a second look.
Posted by Phil at April 11, 2005 12:51 AMI love the composition and texture, amazing, simply amazing.

Absolutely beautiful, Sam!
And definitely not cluttered.
Very lonely place you captured there, nice...
Posted by flygirl at April 11, 2005 07:03 AMoh, that's nice.
Posted by bud at April 11, 2005 07:04 AMEasily one of your best images.
Posted by James at April 11, 2005 07:26 AMnice shot and composition!
Posted by Shahin Edalati at April 11, 2005 09:29 AMsimple but stunning shot.well done!
Posted by eden at April 11, 2005 10:48 AMi've been critical of the images lately but this is a nice image. good light. good composition. nice textures, and well done in the sepia tone.
Posted by ez e at April 11, 2005 10:50 AMgreat shot! although i feel the triangle on the upper left is a bit distracting, but maybe it works for the composition? still, loving your work!
Posted by jayjay at April 11, 2005 11:16 AMReminds me Felini's La Dolce Vita or other films. Awsome!
Posted by SliceOfLife at April 11, 2005 11:34 AMi think everyone has already said it.
the placement and light and texture of this shot are amazing. great job.
The simplicity of this photo is amazing, hence it is simply amazing. Very well done.
Posted by Brent at April 11, 2005 12:11 PMBeautiful picture. I find the top left triangle a little distracting, but I like this one a lot.
Posted by asa at April 11, 2005 01:25 PMsimplicity of arrangement of objects meets the abstract eye and yet on a deeper perceptive level there is a heaviness for me in my own current Life experiences felt in the time of day, light, shadow and presence of myself (yes, even through this glass computer screen) in the image. thank you, Sam!
Posted by dogstone at April 11, 2005 01:27 PMAbsolutely fantastic!!! The light is... I don't know... Thanks for this sight. Beijos
Posted by Catarina at April 11, 2005 02:28 PMI like the texture, the light,the composition, and most of all the silence. I could easily sit there for hours.
Posted by Telli at April 11, 2005 02:33 PMSam, great Pattern and shadows, wonderful shot
Posted by Reza at April 11, 2005 02:35 PMAwsome. I love the "three objects" theme. The sepia sort of tint gives it a nice touch as well.
Posted by Raffi at April 11, 2005 03:27 PMI enjoy the simplistic beauty in this one. It makes me feel good. Best not to criticize.
Thanks
Posted by jacques at April 11, 2005 03:42 PMI love the sepia tone, the warm lighting, the texture.... and the signature BIRD!
Posted by Kat at April 11, 2005 04:46 PMI love simple shots like this. I'm not saying it was an "easy shot to take". You know what I mean. Nice job.
Posted by Matt at April 11, 2005 06:30 PMi absolutely love it!!! are those original tones??
Posted by mariel at April 11, 2005 07:08 PMWhats really pleasing about this , is the triangular arrangement of objects ( manhole cover + picnic table + bird ) - is repeated in the triangular black shadow in the upper left . Also the balance and visual flow of the piece is quite well done . Your eye hits the man hole cover then bird, then picnic table , then black triangle ----- Well Done ~!
Posted by jimmymac at April 11, 2005 07:26 PMwhat happened to the PS2? got a complaint from sony over the use of their products???(kidding)
Posted by scott at April 11, 2005 07:42 PMI have lurked for over a year on your site and 'cause today is my b-day I have to tell you I love your work, Sam. The geometry and tone in this shot is superb. The gull brings life to the man-made attempt to cover the earth with our stuff. And you capture it beautifully. Oh, TO! Your work is a true gift. Thanks.
Posted by D'Avril Allen at April 11, 2005 08:38 PMGreat shop, its a pleasure to check your work each day.

Posted by Hugh at April 12, 2005 09:06 PMI love the grazing light of late afternoon / early evening. It's especially nice that the days are getting longer and longer here in Toronto...
Posted by Jordan at April 13, 2005 09:55 PMWow - this kind of pic makes me want to keep trying harder! Great pic, Sam!
