your pic is perfect like a zen koan
and outbalanced in a stunning manner (feet or not feet visible, that's completely secondary to me:
congrats!)

OK looked through your portfolio and chosen this bad boy to put in my favourites. Nice simple but missing the feet. As for the curve it looks a little like the wall but more than likely is your lense. If you want to test out teh barrel effect just set up on a tripod aimed at a brick wall and shoot off a few frames at different zoom settings. The widest angle should then show you if the distortion occurs beacuse of teh lense. (i.e. when you put a ruler over the print teh morter will not run true to it!) Oh... this does assume the wall is pretty square! (not my own analysis read it somewhere... )

Very nice composition. Simple, effective, and easy to view. I did not see the curviture and would never have, if it had not been mentioned.

Todd, I like this shot alot. It has a great feel to it and proves that the "rule" about shooting your subject's face is meant to be broken. I must admit that I didn't catch the curvature on the floor until I read your comments. I'm not sure why that happened, but believe it would be relatively easy to adjust out in Photoshop.

I definitely dig this shot a lot. Simple but lots to ponder in it. I like particularly that it has a humorous vein, but also a serious bit of content concerning perception and the issues of subject and object in the act of interpretation. Dammit, now I'm starting to interpret. :) Nicely done, Todd.

Harvey,
thanks a ton for the info. I'll need to fool around w/ PS and see if I can correct that issue.

Most probably you were either using a WA converter on the Coolpix or you were using the widest zoom on the lens. This is called barrel distortion and PS or PhotoImpact have a filter for correcting the curve. Best thing to do is now that you know that your zoom lens will exhibit a bit of barrel distortion at full WA, try to avoid using it at that setting. Just back off a little on the zoom and it should work out fine.

Todd,
Very nice photograph. Leaves much to the imagination....yet puts parameters around our thoughts.
I gave you a good score. Best of wishes.

Thank you very much for the comments. Harvey, I completely agree about clipping the feet. I may have to go back and do it again.
The curvature in the lines bothers me too. How can I avoid that?

I like this one a lot - good use of simple lines and empty space. The only shortcoming, in my view, is the slight curvature in the lines along the frame and floor. Straighter lines would have made for an even cleaner photo, but may have been hard to get in this setting.

Hmm...(I'm getting into the mood of the photo). A nice thoughtful and unencumbered capture. Wish the feet were'nt clipped though. What I appreciate is that you have the sense not to encumber a capture with too many elements.
