Poltergeist
© 2005 PhotoSapien

I was home ALONE one day, when I decided that a shot of light coming through one of our old keyholes would be interesting. Blow this up and tell me if you don't see the silouette of a man standing in the room on the other side of the door, looking back at me! On the right side there you SHOULD see only the drapes.

Sadly I must agee with Glenn. I do not see what you see, but I do like this image. It has enough merrit of its own. It doesn't need this made up story of ghosts.

Quite frankly, Glenn, after having viewed YOUR gallery, I'd say everything you do lacks imagination! This dull and boring postcard photography, could have been shot by any ten-year-old with half a brain. But, thank you very much for your post.

PhotoSapien, I believe you misunderstood Glenn's comment to say that you had a lack of imagination when in fact I believe he meant that he was the one who lacked imagination because he could not see in the image what you saw. I could, however, be wrong.
I'm giving your reply to Glenn's comment a 1 for your uncalled-for retaliation against another photographer and for jumping to conclusions. There are only two forms of communications on PhotoReview and they are the images and the comments which are both left up to the viewer/reader's interpretation. I would suggest to all photographers who receive questionable comments to first ask for clarification before flying of the handle and insulting the work of another photographer.

I am not a technical fuddy-duddy, just a very busy woman trying to make the most of my hours.

I don't have to blow the picture up to see it! With the person facing me...you can see his right side. Which shows the curve of his right ear and hair. That's a really cool picture!

I want to apoligize for my previous post. Perhaps you are right. Maybe I did jump the gun a bit. I sent Glenn a private message asking about a comment he had made on my "Via Con Dios" pic, that I didn't understand. (He made a reference to "Eurovision") And I never recieved any response from him.
So, when I saw this comment, I assumed it was hostile. But then, you know what they say about assumption.... sorry.

Capturing Life Frame by Frame

Hmm Photosapien, seems you got a lot of attention on this anyway. It is , however, a more interesting pic if you don't study it too much and TRY to see something in it. Nice perspective and imagination in trying to trick the eye. The first glance and implication are enough

Ok, my two cents too since every one blew up this forum. I saw it immediatley na na na!! J/K, no I really did. I can see why you came up with the name. Just what inticed you to shoot a shot thru a keyhole in the first place deserves some merit. I wont say much about the insult only, lesson learned I hope. I'm all about honesty but whoa horsey!

Now to my rating as for technical merit hmmm..... let me look again...
