1. Love it John. Fabulous composition.

   1. Thanks Adrian.

2. Wow, what an incredible shot! I take my hat off to you, John.

   1. Thanks Richard. I’ve been taking my hat off to this camera for years.

3. If I had a hat like Richard obviously has, I would take him off. Now I bow my head for this beautiful crafted picture. Breathtaking. I would love a big print on the wall!

   1. Wow, Chris…thanks… much appreciated. 🙂

4. fantastic shot, john!

   1. thanks Peter.

5. Impressive … I love the reflection, fantastic!

   1. Thanks for commenting Anette. It certainly was a difficult exposure with all that contrast. Have you had a chance to work with the 903?

      1. I regret to say that I didn’t have the chance yet. It has to be fantastic

         1. I think you’ll love it. It’s got a superb feeling of balance and weight distribution. I’ve gotten sharp hand-held exposures (on occasion) even as low as 1/15″.

            I’ve never used a camera that feels better in my hands.

6. This is poetry, John. Such an incredible image. So many echoes in it: the reflection, references, the perspective. It’s just stunning. It looks like a Magritte! Beautiful!

   1. Those are complimentary words, Lynell. Thank you!
      “Surreal” was a word that crossed my mind more than once on that trip.

7. incredible image, John. “Glassy” it is!

   1. Thanks Arjun. Right place…right time…sometimes it helps.

      1. for me who only knows to press click button, it helps every time -)

8. Magnificent, and so beautifully out of this world!

   1. thanks Patti

9. Brilliant photo subject.

   1. thanks!

10. What an interesting, surrealistic effect – looks almost digitally created!

    1. Yes–it does have a post-processed look about it. When I used to make it as a “c” print from an enlarger, the question never came up–but that was fifteen years ago. Nowadays I have to deal with the question whenever I display the picture.

       Times have changed!

11. A lot of dynamic and surprise in this. Very good.

    1. thanks so much, Bente.

12. If I didn’t know better, I’d think of this image as a painting. It’s very unique. I wonder what the effect is if it were blown up to, say, fill an entire wall.

    1. Thanks Isa, I haven’t printed it that big, but it’s an interesting thought. I’ve made a few 20″ prints –looks pretty nice in that size.

13. Merveilleux, comme en apesanteur.
    Val

    1. Bonsoir –merci. En apesanteur: qui serait un bon titre.

14. Goodness! That’s beautiful and so surreal.

    1. thanks Ashley.
