Lost

Really cool shot. Dark and a bit scary but still innocent somehow :)

Very nice Deborah.

perfectly done

mysterious light, like someone is watching, wonderfully done

It’s a good feeling when you come across stuff you’ve put aside and like it even more. this is a classic.

realy beautiful

The soul of the flowers are protecting him/her ….... no worry ;)
Superb lighting, superb mood. An instant fav Deborah…..

I like it very much. congratulations…...

great shot

this is great deborah!

As always very thought provoking and deep!

I feel very small, fretful and insignificant looking at this. I like the bright burst of light too, as if its aiding the lost, cut off feeling the child must have…..how unusual to have light as the isolator and not the saviour?

Wonderful! For me the child walks with confidence! Although I love the feeling of a need for protection! As always superb use of light

Stupendous Deb, a marvellous shot

it’s wonderful Deborah, the highlighting on the child is perfect, the eye is drawn right in…he looks tiny compared to the world around him! Splendid!

This is lovely Deborah. Small children always look lost amongst overgrown weeds to great effect. Love the monochrome too!

superb!

I love the glow to this!!!

Great shot! You’re startin’ to creep me out though (that’s a good thing…).

This has such a fairy tale feel to it – great image

I like the curve of the path and how it is echoed in reverse in the sky. Everything is interesting and magical when you’re small.

OMG Deb…this one is really amazing…it looks like the woods have engulfed him in there….it really has a sense of urgency and desperation to it….you can smell and feel the intended fear….just brilliant…..the tones are just perfect too

Punchy bnw. Perfect. Great lighting. Interesting story being told.

Great story, lighting and tones.

So very beautiful, Deb, love the lighting!

Fantastic capture and great composition, excellent tone!

excellent work

excellent…great contrast and tonal range! beautiful shot Deb!

Wonderful photography, the image is truly the title as well. Bravo

awesome image Deborah,,,very eerie but beautiful at the same time,,, well done

Wonderful mood to this!

Aaargh! Flasback to the weekend and many a moment lost in the maze at Leeds Castle (we never did find the middle for the 2nd visit now – it’s getting embarrasing and i’m sure there’s a secret trapdoor in the hedge somewhere)

Love it Deb. Does look like a natural maze of sorts with the confused feel after running down another dead end and the black outline adds to the sense of enclosure and claustrophobia. Yup, I do get Lost to as my one word instant summary (shortly followed by frustration as it’s clear a quick way out is sought very desperately).

Superb work Deb. Particularly like that little patch of sunlight.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments – I really appreciate them :)

Certainly do like it Deb …he may be lost, but he’s being protected until he finds his way.

Like it? LIKE IT???? I’m gonna come over there and smack your legs for not sharing it sooner!!!!!

Poor little lost lamb… I want to take Lambie’s hand and guide them to safety. Sadly, with my sense of direction I am just as likely to get us more lost!

Beautiful work ! love the light and the perspective here.

So glad you took a second look.. Timeless.. Wonderful daydream maker..

This is another excellent image Deborah, just keep them coming!

rather dark and ‘little boy lost’.

Deborah, I think this could be one of your best ever shots!

the lighting is exquisite, the defining areas of shadow play and show a darker side to this image which is given even more emphasis with the size of the child in the middle, their size, draws you deeper into the image and gives a tweak at the viewers more vulnerable side and starts to bring on a little panic,

BIG WELL DONE

Beautiful treatment!

This is so gorgeous Deb, the little person looks so tiny. Love the highlights in the flowers. Wonderful work, as always.

Glorious. Lovely work.

Exceptional lighting and composition. Brings back childhood memories and that sense of wonder in unknown territory!

Beautiful as always Deb, like how small the child looks in comparison with the surroundings.

Brilliant lighting and set up in this shot

materfully controlled.

How adorable…..and lovely shot

I’m sooo behind! This is beautiful Deb. I love it as with all your work. I find this image somewhat frightening from a parents perspective though, it reminds me of a lost child.

Love the treatment. So magical and strong. The light and absence of light play such an important role in this work. Yeah, we are so small and vulnerable compared to the forces of life that surround us. But there is a clear path. A picture with a happy ending.

Wow, what a fantastic magical image.. you conjoured up another brilliant atmosphere with this image.. so many stories to be drawn from this! Love the contrasts gain in this with the dark, dark surroundings and the brilliant highlights on the leaves.. great work!

like it… love it!!!!! the space and light work so well!!!!

As with all of your images…inspirational…stunning outcome!

this has that beautiful feeling of adventure and exploration…where is he going, what lies ahead? Awesome Deb, your ability to create atmosphere is strong as ever!

A wonderful shot and a perfect title.

amazingly beautiful :)

fantastic work

WOW> what an amazing shot…. this is unbelievable….. i love it

This is awesome. Fantastic work unreal lighting. Its so amazing.
The lighting pulls you into the photo. Love it

This is so eerie! awesome work!

Love the “enchanted forest” feel of this Deborah. The treatment really makes this image, with the light on the path and child, surrounded by darkness.

A very powerful storytelling image, love the spotlight effect!

wonderful image, this is beautiful, love the effect on it

I can relate to this scene. It seems common fate of human beings at some time. Great lighting and textures, very powerful work!

Brilliant – love the mood and use of light.

Another stunningly beautiful B&W.

It’s a keeper. ;)
Such emotive work…
