Response to christel's "walking" image

Thank you - I like it too :) It4s one of the joys of shooting blind that you come home with 99% crap, and then once in a while something that makes you gasp. When I originally posted this image to Photocritique, it generated quite a debate and some people were very outraged because I had the nerve to present it as "photography". When presented with this type of response, I always ask - if it were a painting, would you like it then? I guess a lot of photographers just look more at film, camera, aperture etc. than at the actual picture - which is why some of them are so d%$# unimaginative! - Present company ofcourse excluded :) Where would the world be without Jackson Pollock anyway? The random creation process can be extremely rewarding, and in the end always involves a concious choice anyway, which is why I feel it is just as valid as setting up a tripod, arranging lighting and carefully composing an image. My choice is my art, basically...
