That's pretty cool the way the man's upper body is blacked out.  Art of the unexpected...

Rick, I really like this.  The straight lines in the right , bottom quarter, the reflection and black spaces really work for me.
Cheers,

Work's really well with the man partly hidden in darkness.

Love the way you made the puppeteer anonymous.

most interesting is the controverse repetition in this picture:  pupetters feet to be seen by light for the the puppet and puppets feet dark by random shadow of a visitors head

Rich, you are my hero. You take what would be sort of everyday uninteresting in my images, and make it exciting and communicative. I find this kind of shooting extremy difficult, so I can only admire your work.
