Antoine Dagobert, 11 months ago

Another stunner Deb!

SusanC, 11 months ago

Oh this is gorgeous, you take amazing photos… :)

Kitsmumma, 11 months ago

Love the treatment Deb and the stripey shirt. Gorgeous composition and contrast too. My son loves this game at the moment although he is not very good at hiding.

Paul Louis Vil..., 11 months ago

Beautiful work Deb, I love the graphic nature of your B&W’s! :D

velveteagle, 11 months ago

Just a wonderful image.. inside

Nicholas Averre, 11 months ago

Lovely image Deborah!! I remember trees like this when I was lad, I was up them rather then in them but it sure does brings back the memories.

Rhana Griffin, 11 months ago

This sort of image is definately your forte Deb… you obviously love these creative b&w’s and DAMN GIRL!!! You do them so well!!!!

Adela Hriscu, 11 months ago

Great idea, wonderful result, the children world is so amaizing!

ciege622, 11 months ago

Jing3011, 11 months ago

WONDERFUL!

Halcyon007, 11 months ago

I thought I was getting in early on this one and i’m already at least 11th on the list!

Brilliant capture Deb – Such a fantastic idea for a shot and, as usual, superbly executed.

Madison Ellis, 11 months ago

LOVE THIS ONE….you’re right about hide and seek….great game!!! LOVE IT =-)

SylviaHardy, 11 months ago

The sabateur effect that you have created outside the tree works so stunningly in contrast with the child! Children and trees complement each other so well, fantastic work Deborah, well done!

Helene Kippert, 11 months ago

Wonderful shot Deb :o)

lightsmith, 11 months ago

lovely and brilliantly done in black and white.

Victor(Vic) Be..., 11 months ago

agree about the game ! :-)

Lisadee, 11 months ago

I just love her clothes, and the tree and the entire image, and she is adorable…lovely work again Deb.

Graham Dean, 11 months ago

Art deco, portraiture, expression to melt the heart, and something new and original within that classic Parkinson. Who can do this?

googa, 11 months ago

Awwwh that is so beautiful ! what a lovely shot well done.!

TonyLegg, 11 months ago

Wonderful !!!

Pete Chennell, 11 months ago

where do you find these magical places?..beautiful shot yet again Deb

KathyT, 11 months ago

Gorgeous! You are right – kids are the same everywhere. Lovely capture and the B&W suits it well.

Ashley Ng, 11 months ago

Great capture and concept Deb – the lining of the trees brings about a reality/fantasy concept again (It would be interesting if you could have the leaves+- far background in a slightly/desaturated colour to contrast with the detail in the central and very cute subject and the tree). Very nice series developing.

KylieForster, 11 months ago

This has to be one of my favourites from your shots. I just love it!! WOW WOW WOW. Its the tree, and the little girl…the contrast, the water…and her expression…i love it. Gorgeous!!!

Andy73, 11 months ago

Cadence, 11 months ago

Wow! Too good for words! You are amazing, Deb =)

Arthur Chambers, 11 months ago

It’s all been said-like the way the sharpness stands out on the leaves…......

Julie Langford, 11 months ago

J.K. York, 11 months ago

excellent. yes, it takes me right back to my childhood thinking about playing hide and seek. awesome tree with very nice contrast in the b/w. the little girl’s stripes really pop out. good PP treatment too.

Simon Gladwin, 11 months ago

Nice shot Deb. Love the peek-a-boo of your daughter? in the tree. The background reminds me of the Siouxi and the Banshees video to “Dear Prudence” very atmospheric.

Hiroko, 11 months ago

Very cute black and white…has a retro feel to it…

Torfinn Johann..., 11 months ago

Fantastic shot! Love it!

Jennifer Resemius, 11 months ago

so very cute! :) beautiful image.

Martin Derksema, 11 months ago

I am going to ask RedBubble if they can build in an auto-fav function for your work in my Bubble. This is going to lead to a severe case of RSI. As I said earlier, I think you are a great illusionist. Every illusionist act consists of three parts: The promise, The change and The prestige. Yes, I saw the movie. So does yours:

-The promise: a young girl hiding in a tree.
-The change: wait a minute, this is not just a girl hiding in a tree. It is much more. Look at the light on the tree and the light on the horizon. Look at the leaves on the foreground. This is a vision.
-The prestige: it is me hiding in the tree, and my neighbour and every child ever born on this world.

Love your line of thought. It is a way of looking at life that is repeated again and again by the Daila Lama too.

Deri Dority, 11 months ago

Another awesome shot!!! I love the B&W with this.

cdwork, 11 months ago

Stunning work as always

Rich Gale, 11 months ago

STUNNING

Anita Donohoe, 11 months ago

I love a shot that tells a story, and this one does! It is a wonderful capture of a childhood game that brings a smile to my face.
Thank you, Deborah!

Coralie Casey, 11 months ago

Gorgeous shot. Her face is exactly how mine would have been playing Hide and Seek as a child. “Is someone coming?” “Where are they?” “I’ve found such a good spot!”

Meach, 11 months ago

When ever there’s a stunning shot on here you have to scroll down a long way to add your comment so I’ve decided to coin that as a new phrase for anything that’s cool on the site.

This pic is ‘scroller’ – nice one

agypsyk, 11 months ago

Stunning as always love hw you are capturing those fun things we did as children, like walking over the troll bridge in one of your other photos

funkyfacestudio, 11 months ago

I love this photo, It’s very captivating.

Fantastic image, Deborah. You’ve managed to bring the world of fantasy and reality together. The treatment you have used is superb. Wonderful, yet again.

Hagen, 11 months ago

ECGardner, 11 months ago

What cool tree and excellent photo!

googa, 10 months ago

Wonderful , just wonderful!

AngelArtist, 9 months ago

Oh, that is just the kind of place where I would like to be, =) If I could I would buy almost all of your photos because they make me feel glad.

cheerishables, 9 months ago

Oh, this is gorgeous! The textures, tones, and lighting. Wow! Magnificent. So artistic!

billyboy, 8 months ago

If you had done this as a straight shot it would have been a girl hiding in a cool tree. With your processing, it goes further and it’s now about all of us dreaming back to when we were hiding in trees and playing games. Again, you have the knack for putting us there, deep in thought, and relating to our own experiences. You rock big!

howardtaylor, 8 months ago

BEAUTIFUL SHOT. YOU CAN SEE EVERY DETAIL OF THE TREE. NICELY COMPOSED. AMAZING!!!

Michelle Dry, 7 months ago

what a lovely shot- well done!

Herkissable, 7 months ago

so cool…I remember doing this as a child was sort of scary the thought of spiders but tried not to think about it too much…gorgeous…all of your work!

Shannon Paskaruk, 6 months ago

Elodie, 4 months ago

KazM, 3 months ago
