I liked the dark tree to the left, maybe because I could tell it was a tree at first glance.
That shadow, and the light feeling of being the one who\'s buried there, watching a home that would have been hers, but was unremembered. It makes goosebumps travel my arms.

woah this reminds me of those witches' homes in the woods... where candy-hungry kids venture for candies... curious kids for adventure...

I like the mood set forth in your photo ... the borders are brighter than the rest of the photo, thus competeing with the viewers attention, pulling the viewer out of the photo instead of into the photo ... perhaps adjusting the opacity of the borders to about 65% or so

great photo!

xseption In reply to darkviolet [2005-02-03 15:23:38 +0000 UTC]

yes, I believe so ... the brighter areas of the photo stand out much better

what did you think? is it better in your opinion?

darkviolet In reply to xseption [2005-02-03 18:50:51 +0000 UTC]

..the difference is very noticable..
I like this.. where the frame is there.. but not as strong and overpowering..
[thanks]

Nice shot, I think that is a little bit dark of some parts, but maybe that is what make it interesting

a very intriguing location, indeed... pretty?

it is something that has been done before, but you've done it quite nicely here. a little grainy, but that happens. the glow adds a sense of mystery... or dream-like.

at first i thought the grainyness took away from the scene, but then on second look it adds to the scary mood of the whole picture. i think this photo is one of your best

Thats a really unwordly image - the foreground focus telescopes me into the picture, and then the distant light seems to lift and pull me towards it faster and faster . . .

Its quite a dizzying and disorientating shot. Its excellent . . .

I recognize it. I hope you won't be upset if I make a small suggestion. The tree making the left of the frame makes it appear a little like the photo has been torn. I like the way it looks. Adding a similar effect to the other sides of the image may add to the already haunted and rustic feeling. Just a thought..

..torn.. the highlighted edge of the bark?... it might... balance this.. we will see. thank you.

Kyndelfire In reply to darkviolet [2005-01-30 23:34:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes. The rough edge looked like a tear to me. It took several moments to realize it was a silhouetted tree.

..I have another negative of this.. with more light.. where the far left of the tree can be seen...
..I'll have to play with the frame on this one now..

this is the scene out of an old fashioned horror flick, a scene from a dream...

surreal. Surreal. your technique of creating surrealism is astonishing sometimes....

.....sometimes it feels that way.. when you're standing there.. looking over... ideas... swarms of visions.. before I even shoot..
