This has a very somber feel to it. Nice use of the space.

uncommondepth said 603 days ago:

Very nice. I would have like just a touch more definition (contrast) in the person, but it's only a minor complaint.

dcreighton said 603 days ago:

This is so dark I have a hard time telling what is going on. Barely make out the trees.

luminouslens said 603 days ago:

This is a very interesting use of negative space! I like the human element and the very interesting blue/green toning to the lighting.

faustina said 603 days ago:

beautiful. I do wish it was a tad lighter to see more of the trees, but it is excellent.

gorin-images said 603 days ago:

I really like this ghostly image. IMHO there is too much "going on" in what I think is supposed to be the negative space though. There is some interesting stuff there due to the combination of the moonlight and fog.

I give you a solid 5 for technique though. This is a great image in its own right ;)

dunny said 603 days ago:

thanks guys! It was very foggy that day.

dunny said 603 days ago:

thanks gorin heh.. yea moonlight and fog give off a freakish glow.

psychodudu said 603 days ago:

Had the trees not been there on the right I think this would have simply been perfect!

Ana said 603 days ago:

yeah. this is fabulous.

uncommondepth said 603 days ago:

@psychodudu - You are kidding right? The tree IS perfect and makes this photo what it is.

SeekingFocus said 603 days ago:

Nice feeling here, though not a lot of negative space.

groen65 said 603 days ago:

Stunning image. It would have great impact even without the striking blue.

King said 603 days ago:

I like this image, but I'm struggling...I think the image is struggling...to draw the eye to the person and the TREE in the bottom right corner because the eye (I was taught and truly believe) is drawn to the lighter parts of the image--in this case, to the negative space, which is contradictory.

It may be the case the the bottom right just needs to be a little brighter or maybe have the blacks a little deeper (i.e. shorter tonal range).

dunny said 603 days ago:

thanks guys!

king - I can understand the your problems with the shot. and thxs for the critique. you always have something to say that helps.

To me i wanted to guide your eye towards the "soothing" Aura of this shot. Since your eye automatically look right you see the figure there.. and your eye is then drawn to the aura.

Here are some other images in this series. Azul

Paul,
By the way, when I say "you succeeded," I meant that as a compliment. The more I look at this image, the more I like it.
