Unfortunately, we had trouble getting poor Mike down. Ah, well, he lived a good life anyways.

(just kidding)

disturbing. i don't like the topic.

Discordia · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

I like the topic, although not the image, its too dark(lighting wise), not enough contrast, everything sort of blends togeather

zacker · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

its different, ill give ya that! i think the feet should be pointing down a bit more though.

jordan.meeter · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

Yeah, it's this stupid film that I use. I gotta switch to something else...

zacker · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

Poor Mike, we should send flowers.....

Strange... I look at this shot and feel that it needs to be more grainy to be effective. Just my opinion though.

Sonic Infidel · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

I like the composition and the style. A small amount of defining light on the left side might be in order, but overall, it's pretty effective as is.

It's creepy, but poignant.

needs to have bodily fluids dripping from his toes to a puddle on the floor . . .

It ought to look like it was printed in a newspaper or something. Might make it pretty neat!

I really like it. It is kind of dark, but it doesnt matter to me. It is effective, and I think you did a great job

_andrew · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

As others have said - is a tad too dark for me. The idea of what has happened works well though.

Oh and poor mike

lol

jseens · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

Is Mike supposed to be a child because it looks like a child's legs to me. Very disturbing.

drandtus · 20th of March 2007 (Tue)

This is gonna sound weird (maybe), but I like pictures that get under my skin a bit. I think it means that you did something right. Crazy idea and well done.
