Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand

Did he roll over, or did you walk around him?! It surely does not look very comfortable, and I'm not swapping my lovely wool futon for this!!

@Bronnie: Totally agree! And yes, I walked around him :-)

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Great follow up shot, as interesting as the first one. Love the bike in the background, gives the photo a sence of narrative and possibility. Nice one!

Reference to the Blur album in the title?

@Chris Sullivan: Thanks Chris! It's a classic album...it was in my mind and seemed appropriate.

Manuela Photography from Hainburg (near Frankfurt/Main), Germany

This photo is making me very curious: is it his bike? Is he just having a break? and where will he be going next?
Excellent b&w ps on these two last takes!

@Manuela Photography: Thanks Manuela!

Maoya from Rolle, Switzerland

The b&w is really well done and the sequence on the 2 scenes just cracks me up!

@Maoya: Thanks so much Maoya! Much appreciated.

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

No, I don't believe any of it. This is a friend of yours posing, surely.

@Sidonie: How could you doubt my sincerity Sidonie!? ;-)

Honestly, this was a totally genuine candid. No illusion involved. But thanks so much for expressing skepticism.....I'm glad they made you ponder!

I liked the previous one, but prefer this. The composition is spot on and the B&W processing excellent. Great contrasting tones. Nice one.

Immersed Photography from Houston, Tx, United States

Sleeping? Dead? Drunk? Meditating? Praying? Studying on his side reading a book?

A multitude of things he can be doing!

Great composition too!

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Great composition here. The lighting is wonderful and while it leaves a lot to the imagination, it appears to tell a story.
