I'm sure I commented on this image before, but it seems to have disappeared. Love it, because it is so strikingly different.

Thanks Reinardina, Doing something different was the idea behind it.

Nice simplicity, and congratulations on IOTW Simon

Congratulations on the IOTW. Well done I like the light on parts of the body

Stunning use of lighting, well done on IOTW

OH, What a nice surprise! I am so pleased with this picture. I set up 2 lights on either side of the pole in an attempt to show shape and form and not be distracted by the person on the pole. When I recieved no comments on this I was doubting my ability. To be voted IOTW has boosted my confidence. Thank you soo much.

I liked it from the start, liked both, but this is, in my opinion the more striking one. And comments these days are, sadly, a rare thing. But you have already had more comments on your IOTW than I had last week! Sadly even IOTW does not seem to attract the attention it used to.

Impressive mono image. The simple directional lighting emphasises the interesting and unusual body pose. Congrats on IOTW.

Vrey good. Congratulations on IOTW

Superb lighting Simon.I think I would have liked a touch more light on the face, but I guess I'm nit picking a little.

i like this. lighting is lovely. agree with touch more on face but love the cross shape it makes in the image

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Lovely lighting and set up that accentuates the pose - well done!

What a great piece of photography skills in this one, superb use of the light you set up, which certainly picks out the shape wonderfully. Top class.
