Description
+ It's been a while since I've taken solace in this place. It was my sanctum, my getaway. There's something comforting about finding quietude on a campus of 40,000.
I should head back sometime.+ Similar techniques and same location as Neverending Story . I definetly tried keeping the look familiar and I think it worked well. (These two should look great side by side on my wall.
)

This picture is leaving me breathless. The colors that come through those leaves are amazing! I almost feel as if I could walk beneath those branches and find myself in Narnia, but better. Gorgeous.

That's exactly how I've seen this image. I liked the gate-like nature of the trees, but wanted to enhance it to make it appear truly enchanting.
Thanks for seeing that!

very nice picture, the light falling into the plants gives a nice warm feeling to the picture, nice job on it

the glare from the light is quite impressive .. it's almost blind-spot inducing.
appears to be quite a small little paradise.
neat shot!

I think that while your idea of adding the 'shining light of god's sanctuary' effect is a noble one, too much light can be a bad thing. You know, all those hollywood actors DO begin to squint after the " Aawwawawawwwwwwwwwawawwwwwwwwwww" phase is over with.
You have a knack for natural framing, I think that works well in this piece.
Good job!

Hah, yes! A comment that's critical (kinda) and I agree! I was worried about this being "overlit" but couldn't really strike anything between the original and this. 
I know I can count on you for straightup responses.

Thats a very nice photo. The glown out light, and softness have a very nice homely feel.

It's strikingly beautiful...
I love something like this...
I have used similar to this for the cover page image (feeling wise) - mystical and beautiful - for my fairy tale(prose).
Some images are beautiful, some are inspiring.
This one does both.
Very well done.

Sooo bright it's beautiful, I'm suprised how well it came out facing the sun and all
π: 0 β©: 0
It certainly does look peaceful. I can almost feel the warm sun heating up my skin and the birds chirping in the trees. the lighting is gorgeous, it certainly makes the picture, the white washed out look of the background gives the impression of a heavenly place. i can understand why you'd go there... man 40,000 is unbelievable, though this is coming from a girl who has spent the last two years on a campus with around 400 people on it =cp
great shot foo =c)

Love the use of available light. What kind of film did you use?
π: 0 β©: 1
I wish I could say it was film I was using. It was shot with a Coolpix 775 and there was an embarassing amount of post-editing. 
The process was similar to this although not the exact same.

This is very bright, I love it, shadows aren't even detected. The kind of day that I would feel so relax and energize at the same time. Good work man.

I remember that place!
So peaceful. I spent many hours just walking, and calming myself there.
I almost miss it. But now Mississippi is my 'sanctum'. It's too peaceful here to leave right now.
The light here is the best part. I love this, I'm faving it.
Miss you guys though.
