Really a leaf? It looks like there are pinholes around the edge and a thread evenly separated from the edge. Hmmm.... but looking closer the "thread" turns and goes over the edge at the top. I will take a look - thanks for pointing me in a different direction Flick. Brent

Brent, it's a leaf, it says so underneath. I think it's amazing. You should follow the link in Dan's profile to his website (I think it's in his profile) and take a look. i was knocked out by how unusual and crearive his stuff is. Absolutely beautiful some of it.

I like what you have done here: taken something (a baseball mitt?) and made it something very haunting through blur, shadow and shape adjustment and a very strong title as a clincher. Very creative - with a minimal amount of solid cues you have created a whole atmosphere ( I can almost see the eye coming up behind the mask). Very well done!
