    Really like this shot. Love the perspective from that person out on the hill.
    I really like when something simple like a pole can be turned into a terrific photograph.

    Great shot again. You can even make a simple fence post look good. I love your work...

    Re: I am a pole...

    I think the dude way back saved this shot Seb. I don't think I'd say I liked it without him. But you probably wouldn't have shot it without him either. That to me helps my eyes come back and forth.

    Over all I think it's fine, but not one of my favourites out the many great shots I've seen from you.

    Seb,

    I like the shot no critique and I think everyone else has said all I had to say except - Hate the frame, I think it ruins the shot because its too bold. This shot needs a subtle frame.

    Funny, our 'other' Seb...

    ...could have posted this comment, too. See, he's Polish...

    Seriously, I like the pic. The small person in the bg is what makes the shot...

    Re: I am a pole...

    great framing. because the person in the background is so tiny, that would really hurt a small print of this shot for me, but printed on a larger printout, like a 8x10 or 13x19 would make it work.

    Re: I am a pole...

    great shot Seb. i really like the texture of the grass in this photo. i'd like to see the person a tad bit bigger b/c i might have missed it the first time, but still, cool effect!

    Well thanks a lot everyone! That shot was made on the fly. I don't even know what that person in the field was up to.
