Wow! This is beautiful!!!!

Superb piece of work Debs love the lighting in the doorway and how you have maintained the tones in the background and subject. Excellent work well done

just beautiful! excellent work!

Great image Deb. Excellent detail.

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

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

great one!!!!!

Brilliant image, it is like he is stepping into another world!! :)

Hey
This is magic.
beutiful wiew!

excellent image

Sooo good!

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!

I love this, it is beautiful work

Fantastic composition

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!!!

Wonderful work Deb…

what more is there to say? truly wonderful

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..

Enchanting image Deb, the lighting is really awesome. Simply wonderful !

WOW!!!!!!!! ok that is all I can say…just WOW!!!!!!!!!! my god your talent…......Hugs, Trishaxoxoxox

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!

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments and Phil go have a lie down LOL!!!

Brilliant shot, I love what you have dont to the trees in the background, you are so consistant with your fantastic pictures, I just hate having to wait for the next one!!

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!!!!!!

its all been said above me but this is sooo stunning…a beautiful atmospheric image

Hey now hey now n now…...Gorgeous image Debs. Wonderful tones and texture. Love the processing too. Super PS work!

wow…i don’t have anything to add above what’s already been said…but i just have to say this is really amazing and your work is SO inspiring.

This is gorgeous Deb! Kind of reminds me of CS Lewis :)

Just have to keep looking- Great use of light- very mysterious shot

I really love what you have done here Deborah! Exellent work!

love the ghostly trees in the BG – this is a wonderful picture

Love it

brilliant work,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You are incredible at these shots Deb :)

Amazing image- the mood, tone and light are incredible, and you’re absolutely right that it should be viewed large!

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.

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

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.

Ripper work

Incredible…..everything is perfect….well done!

So gothic looking and dark yet so warm and childlike. I love what you can do with a photo.

Brilliant shot.

Amazing shot. I love this

yep! what more can we say about you.you still are the master of mood.
the title makes you think and enhances a already clinnically perfect picture.
superb!!well done

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!

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

Another great bit of art.

This is fantastic Deb – The tree in the background is amazing

reminds me of chronicles of narnia..
very mysterious. i like.

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.

Seems like such a magical world out thorugh the passageway

Nice one, Deb!

Wow, that tree outside has been worked on so well to create a very creepy, atmospheric shot! Not sure if it’s safer for him to be inside or outside!
