    curling trail of water drops + reflection in the floor of your impending thud = awesome

    Nice, you're being fair with the cat !
    Is this a first take or... ;-)
    Your reflection on the floor almost looks fake as it's so detailed, crazy.

    that dedication, next time you should video it at the same time and put on you tube so we can see how bad it hurt

  8. Whiffleboy (64 months ago | reply)

    Man, I have so many questions about the setup for this shot. But, I'll let you keep your secrets...or your dignity. Whichever is more valuable. :-)

    Seriously, though, this kicks ass.

  27. Plemon Studios (64 months ago | reply)

    I thought the best things about this are the actual vintage "Dodge City" movie poster and Charlie McCarthy ad on the doors.
    Nobody cares about those...

  28. Marie☆Derennes (64 months ago | reply)

    Very funny, how is your back now?

  29. Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton (64 months ago | reply)

    I'm not sure how you did this, but if it's photoshopped, you are a master. . if it's not, you are nuts but amazing !!

  30. phlezk (64 months ago | reply)

    why did you photoshop the reflection? was it necessary?

  31. KeeJoZ (64 months ago | reply)

    amazing shot, nice concept! faved

  32. Plemon Studios (64 months ago | reply)

    phlezk you're on to me. That's a keen eye you have, and yes it's necessary. I had a real time reflection, but it didn't look right at all.
