Description
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrowCreeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out Out brief candle!
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing". - William Shakespeare

Lars, with your gallery, I must start at the beginning. I feel a little miffed that it's taken me this long to find my way over here. So many of your works already have so many favs/comments, and it's like everyone is enjoying a well told story, and I'm just hearing it for the first time. I'm envious of everyone who has had you on their watchlist for years .
The good news is I plan to start making up for lost time. I'm very careful when I browse through galleries, but for yours I want to be especially detailed with each one. I've started with your first piece, and I've braced myself for the amount of favs that are forthcoming. As you can see, I didn't make it very far before I found the first. This piece right here is wonderful.
I'll tell you why I like it so much. First of all, the tones. I love the tones in all your works, which you already know, but this one is especially grand. I love the darkness of it. Compositionwise, it doesn't get much better. The centrally placed figure is attention grabbing, and the flowing cloth really gives it a sense of freedom from restraint. I particularly like the footprints, which lead my eyes right to the focus of the picture. The skull in the foreground adds the perfect finishing touch. My travels right down to it from the central figure. Finally, the added graininess was a great judgement call. It reinforces the dark, death-like ambience. Overall, it's an incredibly complete piece
The thing I love most about your pictures is that they take me somewhere. It's very special and rather rare to find a photographer who can do that so consistently with every piece. Thank you for leading me through a dream.

Really amazing. There is a narrative of some kind in this image, but I'll have to ponder over it for a bit before I can make it out.

Amazing. Great atmosphere, and I love the grainy feel of it. The colors are so awesome.
By the way, where did that skull thing come from? Is it real?

sorry for this very late reply.. Been way too busy lately. Thanks for your comment.. I'm glad you liked the image..
I've used a ton of effects on this one.. First of all, its a composite photo.. I remember I've used several layers for colorizations, textures etc.. In short, way too many effects to list here.. sorry..

stunning stunning work.... the skull is a great touch

Fantastic, really. I love the symbolism in it -- there is death, but there is also release, or so it seems to me.
Very well done too -- the colours and textures are jsut wonderful.
Keep it up!...

Great shot. Wonderfully overpowering. Now I know why paralax was so happy you started submitting again. This is absolutely stunning. A strong sense of despair, but purity, and contentment. A kind of understanding, a realisation. Well done. Bravo.

You're sure this isn't a manip??
Yeah right, you always carry a skull to your shoots
Anyway, manip or not it is an incredible piece of work. If it isn't a manip, the more credits to you m'friend

Oh how I love Macbeth's nihilistic soliloquy...and this is the perfect image to go with it. Bizarre and creepy and dark, yet not unattractive.
