Great image Deb. Excellent detail.

Helene Kippert, 9 months ago

Wow Deb this one’s just fantastic. Looks like a whole different planet outside!

Halcyon007, 9 months ago

It is fantastic large (although I was expecting a hot off the press navity scene LOL)

The soft focus of the background makes, as Helene said, look like a different Narnia style world outside the door. That reflection on the wall is amazingly captured

Daniel Rayfield, 9 months ago

Sooo good!

Graham Dean, 9 months ago

Incredible, those ghostly trees framed in the archway, still trying to reach beyond it. The stance of the figure, and the light on the stonework. There is so much going on. It’ wonderful!

AngelArtist, 9 months ago

I love this, it is beautiful work

Antanas, 9 months ago

Fantastic composition

Birgitta, 9 months ago

Amazing lighting work here! I’m guessing you dodged the outside,
(past the door..tree, etc.) if so then that was a brilliant move. I like
the soft lighting on the broken pieces of ground/rock right at the door’s
threshhold. He seems to say so much with just his silent posture!
(And looks like you may have burned him a bit?) So many levels of
light & dark here…I just get lost in it all. You have a gift!!!

Once more a wonderful picture Deborah..I think i prefer your black and white photos but as i may have said before i know absolutly nothing about photography i just like the contrasts between dark and light ,shadows and mystery…oh i do prattle on sometimes…Quite a lot really..

shawhouse, 9 months ago

technically stunning – no surprise there. I don’t know what to make of it – feeling a little dopy(er) this morning. that’s a pretty bleak landscape he’s facing…....hmmm….... what I need here is wisdom…..

No such luck – hey, without words except beautiful, mysterious & tough to fathom – like the future – and as with all of your work, made me think – ouch!

Deborah Parkin, 9 months ago

cheerishables, 9 months ago

Oh my Gosh! This is definitely one of my fav’s! I love the chiild standing within that enormous doorway. There is such depth and emotion that went into this shot. Like the child stepped into a whole new world. This capture is pure genius!!!!!!

Alexia Wardell, 9 months ago

I think my favorite part about this is the grand arch the little boy is heading towards.. love the black and white tones.. you are so masterful at black and white.. great composition. Really beautiful work.

Deborah Parkin, 9 months ago

thank you everyone for your lovely comments and all your encouragement – means a lot to me.

Martin Derksema, 9 months ago

Church windows have such a beautiful symbolic value. They look like arrows pointing to heaven. And they allow light to stream into the darkness. Abe is standing in the light, near the tree of life, symbol of eternal life. A beautiful vision you had here, Deborah. Executed in a very precise manner; makes me think of an icon. Love what you did with the light and the hazyness around the tree. The tree looks as if it is made of glas or ice. Very fairy tale like. A beautiful piece of wisdom in art.

Sharon Hammond, 9 months ago

Paul Tupman, 9 months ago

This is brilliant Deb.. very cinematic and reminds me so much of a Tim Burton film with the trees looking like that. I also have to agree with the Narnia references… this really is a magical piece of work that creates the beginings of a story in your own mind.. Really wonderful work!

Kitsmumma, 9 months ago

Truly wonderful, I was thinking the same as Paul, reminds me of a Tim Burton film, has a very magic feel to it.

david malcolmson, 9 months ago

There is so much about this image that is admirable from the technical and aesthetic point of view.The doorway frames the child and it opens onto a slightly dream-like lanscape. There is a very rich and satisfying tonal range. Some new pleasure reveals itself every time I look at this.

Susan Grissom, 9 months ago
