That's you...optimistic and happy! You have a talent for it as well as for photography!


Steven H   {K:7127} 2/20/2004
Where would we be without optimism? I think the composition makes this really high quality. By including the curved horizontal pavement marking, intentionally or not, the shadow is grounded much more fully than without it, no?


Antonio Trincone   {K:23167} 2/20/2004
great shadow catch Sandy, good eye


Emgy Massidda   {K:60169} 2/20/2004

Great to see you so optimistic
Fantastic capture!!!!!

Sandy, great title suits the photo very well.
I love this shot a lot...


Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 2/20/2004
I find this nicely vertigo-inducing. An up-beat buzz.


Marusnik Bela   {K:11611} 2/20/2004

This is really great Sandy! Wonderful angles... full on emotion... perfect!!


Richard Thornton   {K:26442} 2/20/2004
Dynamic composition, Sandy. because of the tilted camera it gives me a sensation of falling.


Paul Lara   {K:78508} 2/20/2004
Oh yeah! Very effective skew in this photo.


Emanuele Calvagno   {K:14350} 2/20/2004

kiss.


Bradley Prue   {K:30312} 2/20/2004
This shot is SOOOO full of spirit! I love the way the shadow intersects with the "burnout". Is the shot colorless, or shot in B/W? I like it alot! Two questions: How did you find me? and How did I not ever find you??? I spent way too much time (at work) looking at your amazing portfolio. It is admirable not only for it's technical content, but for its VARIETY. I respect that. I'll be watching you from now on (on my "friends" list) so I don't miss anymore of your tighty tight work! ..Brad


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 2/20/2004

xmmmmm, why not? We can forget our problems for little bit so we can be happy.....and the next time we see our world around us and again we are sad.... so why not for little bit? :-)


Randy Lorance   {K:24958} 2/21/2004
GREAT view which took good eyes to capture, fantastic graphic! I think it might look good with some kind of border on sides(maybe just black bars?) good shot.......Randy

HI Sandy, i love this one, makes me feel good! :)


Graham B   {K:412} 2/22/2004
I love it!!!
one of my very favourite shots of yours...
:)
reminds me of Morcambe and Wise, although you won't know who they are...classic comedy duo
bring me sunshine....in your smile....
bring me laughter....all the while...
they sang that song at the end of their show, clicking their heels into the distance

excellent!


Michael Grace-Martin   {K:10283} 2/22/2004
Talk about a "bounce" in your step!..;) Cool shot..:)


Spencer E.   {K:4032} 2/23/2004
