Artist's Comments

Ever hear the song "Mad World"? I think it was originally by the band Tears For Fears, but it has been re-done by many other bands as well, and appeared in the movie Donnie Darko too. I took this picture while thinking of that song and what it makes me think of and feel. If you want the real impact of the picture, try full viewing, and if you want, even try listening to the song as well :)
Also, I realize that the focus is very strange, but that was intentional, and i really like the way i ended up developing it {also notice the small scratches in some places, it goes well :) } Please tell me what u think.

Very nice. I think I would have done the focus slightly different, but overall, I do like how you did it. Keep up the good work!!!

It's amazing... just the emotion conveyed is enough to make you wanna cry...

I love it. Love how the focus is clearest in the middle of the path.

I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might-have-been has never been, but a has was once an are. -Milton Berle :floating:

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Awesome. It seems like the focus is more on teh cement by the grass, is it? I love it, for the basic reason that one would expect the focus to be on teh figure, but it isn't, and it adds a sort of surreal sense to the pic, a look that matches "mad world' perfectly. ^_^ I love it.
