Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on dA for a few months. I must say that this is really good. Incredible, even.
Seeing this photo, there is just one question that comes to mind; 'why is this not a print?'

Spooky and somehow ethereal atmosphere. Nice picture, though I think it's a bit too overexposed in the top part ... it loses much detail in the leaves there and somehow this looks weird to me.

Thanks for your comment, and sorry for the late reply!
Yes, I knew someone (probably you ) would comment about the over-exposure First of all, I should say that the original photo was barely over-exposed at all. It has come to look that way through post-processing and I actually like the effect. I take your point that it looks a bit weird, and if I was trying to pass this off as a straight photograph I would be uncomfortable with it, but the "weirdness" is actually something I like in this image, as it does give an element of unreality to the scene. Making it, in my opinion, look more ethereal and not of this world. I like how the over-exposure makes the white seem more blinding, which fits with the whole afterlife idea. I guess we might have to agree to disagree on this one.
Also, since it was a tiny bit over-exposed, I did take a second photo with a shorter exposure, but I just didn't like it quite as much, somehow.
Thanks again for you comment. I certainly keep what you say in mind. I really am a lot more careful about trying not to overexpose my photos these days, but it is just very difficult with my current camera.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Yes, calm and ethereal were exactly what I was going for with this one. And yes, seems I like this bluey/purpley shade. Sometimes a tint seems to add an extra something to the emotional reaction to an image, beyond what would be gained from B&W.
To be honest, I didn't put a lot of thought into the title. I just have this long list of song titles that I choose from. When I saw this one, it seemed to fit. Indeed, in a more positive mood I probably would not have linked a somewhat spooky image like this with what is hopefully a happier place. Complete with fluffy white clouds and angels perhaps...

Mmm, my titles suddenly started sounding much better once I switched to this technique. I can't write a good deviation title to save myself.
