Standing in my Shadow

Beautiful lighting (or should that be darking in your case LOL) as usual.

The shadow is just excellent

Excellent work Deb, the shadows and light add real depth and atmosphere to this wonderful piece! :D

great place and perspective !

Knockout image Deb.. this is superb!! the textures and lighting is excellent and Abe as the centre piece with his shadow really makes it.

The light casting Abe’s Shadow across the crypt is great

Where do you keep coming up with the ideas for all these shots? Brilliant lighting and perfect composure. Well done debs

beautiful shot!!!

Oh, Deborah! Brilliant composition. Your use of light and especially dark always amaze me. There’s so much depth here and atmosphere. I love Abe’s shadow on the wall.
Isn’t it wonderful that you can share your passion for photography with your son!

Lovely shot Debs. Your car takes a wonderful photo!LOL

GREAT SHOT AND LIGHT

Very nice… I feel like looking at more of your works..
Just love it.

Another wonderful shot -well done..

Deb you are such an artist. Just love this. Superb

Very emotive Deborah

Magnificant.

What a fabulous setting!

This is suberb photography and you have executed it to the very best standard Deborah, well done!

Truly awesome Deb!!!

so cool i love it

Awesome depth and shadows!

How cool, you do excellent B&W’s

Deborah,
This is a wonderful shot. Definitely one of my favorites. Love. the lighting

Excellent Deb! The lighting and repeated arches add so much to this and of course your son and his shadow just tops it off!

fantastic work very well done.
Rich.

excellent work well done

shadow is awesome love the light Fantastic

What a beautiful building this is. I can almost smell the moist stone and earth. Love the tunnel effect with the light at the end. The subtle little cross at the end adds a lot of symbolic value to this image. You worked so carefully with the light. Which results in the fact that now the architecture of the building is even clearer and more beautiful. The silent interaction between Abe and his shadow is again a great example of how you transform ‘ordinary events’ into important moments. Pfew … a beauty again, Deborah.

great work

Thi is just incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s wonderful to see Abe showing an interest in photography Deb…my boys just roll their eyes at me these days,lol. As for this photo, well, it’s another stunning one…I just wish I had access to such lovely old buildings.

I would go crazy in there with all that gorgeous light streaming through and all those shadows, love the title btw. You should put some of Abe’s work up in the new Kiddie Art Group. I am going to buy my son a camera for Christmas, start them young I reckon! Lovely work as always Deb X.
