Description i think the biggest fear is those silent seconds before the event, the moment where you realise that something bad is about to happen and there is nothing you can do about it.

thankyou to ~toomanycontrols for basically breaking his back for me.

Ugh Ben...this one is too epic for me-in a good way of course. I love the feeling of being taken over.
The layers seem to represent time, which is where the apocalyptic feeling comes from
From the corner of the shot the angle itself makes the background seem raylike and catches attention, but on closer inspection textures are there...and minor imperfections that create the grand feeling formerly lacking of what would be plain.
And the confusing yet simplified background textures sharply contrast with the human form detailed yet light and shadow created form...Very nice and detailed work...
you probly hate me for so many words at a time well oh well cuz I hate you to for making me do this to yet another one of your pics:

"you probly hate me for so many words at a time" hahaha...not at all, quite the opposite in fact. i really appriecated that you mentioned the word detailed...this shot really took me a while...the initial idea was there but to get it 'spot on' just came in it's own time. My friend Jon was really patient and he must have been breaking his back at the time. so many things where just not right about it. it was one of those shots where as soon as the shutter went you just 'knew' that that was the one..you get me? a favourite? ---->

Very cool picture, really nice idea. What i really like about it is the placing of the model and the angle you have caught the stairs at...very effective

once again thankyou, very nice of you to say so. Its always good to hear 'why' the viewer likes it, a "wow" or a "drool" can be good, but a little more depth to a comment is always better. and for that i thank you.

Great shot, the stairs almost look like a pyramid rising up in the right hand corner. Very intriguing, looks like many different things from different angles. Good work.

Ah, Im happy you liked Santa. Actually that rednosed reindeer was also pressing me to get it into the message but I thought santa would enjoy it more, seeing how he mostly just gets out around christmas while those damn reindeers walks around here all year long...

Many thanks for the toast!

lmfao....i think it takes alot of time, effort and devotion to write good bullshit...i have a masters degree in bullshit lying about somewhere i need to get framed.
i think you are being far too hard on the reindeers...i would kill to see one. (well maybe not that far, but still you get my point) all i get to see here and dead rabbits on the side of the motorway and i can tell you...its not nice at all. i think if i saw one i would be tempted to try and get on its back though...and that would probably be the death of me...and then i couldn't whisper in your ear.

and that would not be good either.

oh i nearly forgot...

aw gee whiz...this is excellent, my friend. your choice of angle and positioning is awesome, and the viewer may easily become lost in the expanse of the stairs. the man in your image can definitely identify with that feeling. this is exquisite. i saw it on the "today's favorites" gallery right there on the front and couldn't help but dig in. excellent work
