Excelente e dramatica composição Angelo!
Muito bem feito!
Abraços!
Roberto.

Phew, I can almost smell the aroma. The tones are nice but I would never think to photograph a dead rat. A dramatic impact on the viewer (especially me) that's for sure.

Angelo. Make sure you get all its tail in. It ain't going to move.


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/14/2005
You didn't like it, then, Linda?


Marcia .   {K:16108} 8/14/2005
Dramática, com certeza....

He ain't but I am.


Pat Ziegler   {K:21597} 8/14/2005
Disgustinly delightful! Poor feller...

Death imitating art?


Danny Brannigan   {K:16381} 8/14/2005
Don,t let it get you down.Its just a medium for diplaying your pics.


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/14/2005
You are, as usual, very right, and precisely so, Danny.

It's just A medium. There are many others. If one's contribution is not valued and, most of all, *respected*, then one moves on...

Robert Kocs   {K:89061} 8/14/2005
Oh poor rat! Very dramatic photo but real idea. Thath's life! Great sepia tones and details. Nice composition with dramatic lights! Love the unique textures! Shocking work! :) Congrats Angelo!
Kind regards
Robert

Macabre...and yet oddly poetic, in a Edgar Allen kinda way. One can sense a raven waiting just outside the frame.

Reminds me of the flat frogs I saw in Oahu. I wanted to decoupage one and bring one home as a souvenir, but the others threatened me with the same fate if I didn't desist.


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/14/2005
Yes, Tom. Did you get my reply?


Danny Brannigan   {K:16381} 8/14/2005
Angelo, I don't know what all this is about but I believe that your work views and input are very highly respected and enjoyed by all the members and as yet I have not seen anything to make me think otherwise.Whatever you decide .don't be rash .Count to 10 then possibly 20.


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/14/2005
Danny,

I fear discussing this inside UF as you may get blocked/banned. I don't care if they do that to me, but I do care if you're affected.

Did you receive my reply to your e-mail? Use e-mail and I'll explain. Not here. It's not safe. Big Brother may be watching.

Nice shot, Angelo! I remember doing a series of roadkill images in high-school. No one liked them so I switched to flowers. Only partially kidding... Actually the tones here are very nice. I think that the Shadow of a Tail is key to this image. Light, as always, works its magic.

Aww the poor bugger didn't make it across the road! I can small the stench from here, hang on I think I am going to get sick...


Marilyn Nagy   {K:6008} 8/14/2005
Angelo, Since it was already dead I have no feelings for it except it's very well taken. I like the tones. Good title, strong meaning. Hope it's not a reflection on your hopes and dreams. Marilyn


Guilherme Labarrere   {K:4921} 8/15/2005
Humm, desgosting, hahaha. Muito criativo Angelo, me amarrei. Bom voce esclarecer que o bichinho já estava morto. Grnade abraço.


Marcus Armani   {K:35777} 8/15/2005
Nice look at the end of life for this guy, nice tones and perspective. I see this all the time with the hawks and I never know why I feel bad for the mouse..


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/15/2005
Don't worry, Danny.

I'm trying to get to 10,000.

I should make it that far by this evening...


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/15/2005
"Bichinho"??? Uma ratazana que vive do lixo e espalha doencas. Se nao estivesse morta eu tantaria matar a pauladas eu mesmo. Uma vez uma tentou me morder, veio correndo na minha direcao e levou um bico, quicou no meio da rua e foi parar embaixo de um carro estacionado.

Nao tenho problemas com cobras nem aranhas, mas ratos e camundongos (esses, especialmente os caseiros) eu nao perdoo.

Guilherme, me mande um e-mail, preciso lhe informar sobre o que ocorreu com minha conta no sábado, quando fui barrado. Meu endereco esta na minha página.

Hi Angelo,

Ellen Smith   {K:14418} 8/16/2005
A picture is worth a thousand words....you know the rest.
Did you get my e mail?


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/16/2005
Somehow I don't think I'll get a BiP for it, Thilo... ;)


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/16/2005
Hi Ellen.

Yes, it does.

Yes, I did.

I'll keep you informed.


Ellen Smith   {K:14418} 8/16/2005
Thanks Angelo I thought maybe I had falling out of favor with you too.


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:179654} 8/18/2005
