FOR ANDREW WALKER

LOL! I really love this Deb! Glad to see your little girl has color :)

Great work and composition, beautiful mood…

loved composition ! love the darkness !

You just used felt tip on them, I can tell! Even zebras wouldn’t stand out in your house (just kidding).

You’ll be doing sunrises soon LOL

Excellent shot tho, in all seriousness

Very effective Deb. It works for me. Great piece of art. Well done.

LOL!!
Love how you have presented this Deb!
Your treatment has a real magical feel! :D

This is great, Deb. You’re right – it’s colour…but it’s still dark. I love how you have managed to keep the detail – the bit of light on her back is great – love the texture of the wall and the blackness she is entering. Just gorgeous processing.

This is simply gorgeous

now are you sure deborah, you haven’t just been playing with photoshop and made her clothes colourful? :-)
I like this on so many levels, leaves me wondering… are you having a blackout…. I bet if we could see her face it would still be ghostly white and finally oh my god you are forcing them all to live in the cellar (sorry couldn’t resist)
BTW, beautiful (as always deb)

lovin your colour deborah. nice work

well done

Ooooooooh Deb… I LOVE THIS!!! Its very spooky, and I almost want to take the child by the hand and lead them into the light. Absolutely stunning!!

Those moments when you are depending on the one candle .. and its dark.. LOL.. Love this..

Lol I came to this page and did a double take! Then I wondered if this was a black and white that you tinted after the fact. :P I’m just teasing, of course. This is gorgeous, and every bit as magical as your black and white work. :)

Very nice work.

I love the way it feels like she is walking speedily away, and yet so much in focus! Exellent work. There is nothing wrong with colour, it actually adds to it somehow!

Words fail me…...

Great one Deb.. you show him… lol

I Really love this, I can’t wait to see the others!!!

I LOOOOVVVEEE this, Deb. Fantastic work.

I really love the colour in this, Deb, haunting and yet so beautiful!

Beautiful Deb :o)

Wow! Deb.. this is really stunning! Its so good to finally see how you might perceive colour! Haha! Exactly as you see in B+W I guess.. this is excellent.. I love your usual dark tones and the lighting and contrasts are both wonderful. I love how this tells a story in your mind too. Not much colour.. but just enough! Perfect!

Incredible work in any shade. Love it

Just perfect Deb! Love it!

wow – your ‘colour’ is as great as your b & w… love it!

Hehehe…...you crack me up. :)
I like this because the colours are muted. Not loud & brash..
more low key..I like that. And the mood is rich! Makes me want to follow her.
So mysterious…

Thanks guys for your lovely comments – glad you like it :0)

I absolutely love this Deborah!!! Love the comp, the light, the dark tones and really love that you have decided to add colour, it just really work here so perfectly!! Ohh and don’t forget the mood created here! You are brilliant!!!

You’ve used the colour beautifully Deb.

I love the touch of colour! She looks like a little Christmas pixie with the red top – beautiful! Love how the candle it leading into the darkness. ..great atmosphere and feeling of mystery – congrats :)

Beautiful shot!

Very nice Deborah!

Excellent capture! Well done.

As if it is a scene from a Shakespeare play. A dark stage, a dramatic scene of broken hearts, murder and betrayel. It triggers the birth of stories in my head. Good job.

love it – love the fact you can’t see much- could tell many stories- intriguing… and very cute

SUPERB WOW

w0w – colour!! don’t think I can cope with this!! LOL

Wow – exquisite work once again, love the muted colors and the nostalgic feel of this image…

ooooo i love this, great use of colour but still keeping the darkness that i love so much!!! wicked!!!!

Lol….Beautiful use of color, great shot :)

This is good. Black and white rawks and you do it well.

Awesome work Deb – your colour shots are just as amazing as your fantastic mono work. I really love the darkness in this shot – adds to the whole image and that subtle use of colour brings it out immensely – Excellent work.

Deborah your photos are amazing…i feel overwhelmed by the skill and artistry in your shots….I want to capture what you have.

colour or black and white, your photos are always good.

Ow! Tese bright colors are burning my eyes. whoever you are, you untie Ms. Parkin and give her back her laptop. She’s got some black and white photos to process. Plus, she has to catch up on her supportive, insightful comments on every single photo that’s uploaded to redbubble. Do you have any idea how many people rely on her? I gotta tell you, though, if you were Deb, I’d suggest you throw in some color – from time to time, don’t go nuts – because you’re really good at it, and you somehow captured the unique Parkin style…...nice going, whoever you are…..

If they can colourize the Three Stooges, you can colourize your family. I’m not sure I’m convinced yet.
Really though, it’s a great image and I’d love to see you do some more exploration with colour.

what a brilliant image – you control the blackness with such power and let the light fall so accurately where you want it to – amazing!

this is very effective i love the darkness about it

hehehe, giggling at shawhouse’s comment. This is so beautiful Deb, I really love the hint of colour too (great top for it!).

very moving, great photo!

neato

nice

very cool and unusual.

another great piece. I share your like for the darker side of art with just the right amount of light for the viewer to visualise what they think they see :) I havent done much in this way but am looking at some to do in the near future…its a unique way of presentation and i love it. well done on this one!!

I think this is brilliant

master piece

Innocent!
Lovely!

adorable!
