Description As a kid i use to have problems with nightmares, it was actually to the extent that it became a serious issue.
In all my dreams i was in control of my actions, and i was always looking for a place to hide.
If this scenery was one of my nightmares, i would close my eyes and hide in the water.

5 exposures combined in photomatix, then post-processed in photoshop for a darker atmosphere.
No print, due to the fact that the exposures was way unbalanced ( mini tri-pod on wet grass + no remote ) and that made some movement artifacts through photomatix that are noticeable in print size.

Any questions, just ask.

I am so in love with your gallery, this one is especially good, too bad you can't make bigger prints.

The trees look very ghostly. I rarely get nightmares. They are mainly about me and some other weird people going off on random wild goose chases.

What a beautiful, if rather melancholy picture...

I hope your dreams get better.

What a lot of atmosphere. It's uphill as well. I was always climbing to get away in my dreams. Just half a step away from whatever was behind. I never actually saw what I was running away from but whatever it was it was terrifying. Thank you for adding details of how you have taken/processed your pictures. I am starting to get a bit of a hook on the technicalities and when you mention something it enforces what I am learning.

I suppose people with all levels of ability read your comments. Those who know a lot may skip over them, as will those who know very little. It is the ones in the middle, like me, who will be most interested.

Hmm, I'm always hiding or running from something in my dreams, too.

Great piece.
