I don’t know how all the artists and photographers would feel, but speaking as a qarrtsiluni editor, I love seeing ekphrastic comments like Christopher’s.
Qarrtsiluni (2005-2013) was a groundbreaking online literary magazine, one of the first to fully exploit blog software. Though we never quite realized our dream of creating a print-on-demand option for each issue, being online does mean that our back issues remain accessible indefinitely, so there's that. And we published some damn fine stuff — check it out.

What a wonderful image!
He looks so surprised. A great shot.
That’s wonderful! The colours. the expression. The cropping of the image to bring out the clawing hands and the crushing foot. Fabulous.
Such a life-like and expressive figure, the hands so sensitive! A great photograph!
Satan’s Complaint
I hate getting caught.
When your foot comes down on me
I stare, howl my rage
And fear.
Then I am renewed,
Again set up on my throne
To resume my rule
And hate.
I am bewildered.
How has this happened to me,
Always you stepping
On me.
