Last Night I had a Dream....

Excellent dof Deb. The detail on the carousel is as sharp as a tack and the foreground focal interest works very well.

Great title too

very well titled and shot

wonderful .. it does look like a dream

Wonderful Deborah, the lighting is just perfect as always :)

Gorgeous work Debs! Love the clarity of the fairground ride against the bluriness of Fleur! I too often dream of wooden horses…...but only after huge quantities of port and cheese!

Lots of daydreams in this capture Deb.. Grand job of it..

Realy looks dreamy,fantastic expression on the horse ,even scary,beautiful work.

your pictures of your children have so much love and so much more. the technique you use is gorgeous. have you ever considered putting them together in a book? maybe that is your intent – if not – it seems truly unfair if we on red bubble are the only people able to share these. :)

Another brilliant B&W. I agree with Megan, you should have your photos published. They are too special and need a wider audience.

Deb, you do amazing work. Megan is right, you should be workind on a book.

Great use of depth of field Deborah!

this is just fabulous, Deb

Great image.

Great shot Deb.

beautiful!!!

This is brilliant Deb.. really wonderful. This is a brilliant series that you must love revisiting. I love the atmosphere and dream like qualities that you have created here in your processing. The blurring in this is fantastic.. stare at this long enough and the horse can almost become a little sinister!

Very strong picture, Deborah. Love the energy, power and action of the horses. Fantastic how you bathed them in pure white light. If I look at it from the viewpoint of dream symbolic I would say you are in balance with yourself and your surroundings. Also you might be afraid loosing something, but your innocence well help you to cope with that. Pure magic, straight from sub-concious levels; so, strong art.

Great composition with title, well done!

Great DOF, and wonderful tone as well. This is very good.

great work!!!

Very powerful and magical

Wow! You have titled this one perfectly. Your work is amazing – your portraits breathtaking. I look forward to seeing even more!

I Agree with the rest deb…the title says it all!

Oh Debs… this is exquisite !! the lighting and dream like state you have managed to capture is amazing. Love the title too.

Wonderful storytelling capture, love the DOF and the spotlight effect on the horse!

Inspired work, an absolute belter!

Wow Deb, your work continues to amaze and inspire! Love your style, It’s becoming “signature”! :D

The dof works really well to illustrate the “dream” effect. I like the way you’ve highlighted the horse. I agree with the comments above – since your work is so consistent (style and theme) it’s ready to be put together in a book or presented as an exhibition. Despite the dark tones I think your photos would also work as childrens’ book illustrations. Please contact your nearest editor right now ;))

Superb work!

Fabulous fantasy feel here Deb.

Another awesome piece Deb :) I love the way you have the merry go round pin sharp and excellent lighting :)

Fabulous work Deb, the feel to this is great. I love the rich B/W tones in your work, absolutely beautiful. And yes this is your signature, get onto a publisher.

Another trademark “Deb” image. lovely work

Really great Deb…...............I can see this in a dream too…...........wonderful work
xkc

beautiful work!

great work,,,,,,

Beautiful and dreamlike deb :o)

All I can do is concur with the others. Brilliant.

its all been said.i just want to put my name on your list.xx

Love the light. Beautiful contrast

magical

Fabulous ideas and techniques, Deb to create a wonderous picture.

wow – just love the Focal point and syle of this image… yes, very dreamlike!

what a unique view of this. I thought this had been done to death but this is fresh! Dark and light and lovely!

Looks like a scary dream to me… ;) Love the dreamy quality of this Deb, and the point of focus is spot on!

The DOF does give this a very distinct dreamy quality. I don’t think it’s a good dream. The girl looks a little weary of the horses.
Fantastic work Deborah!

absolutely dreamy…and a fave of course…simply love it

superb

One word: haunting. But in a good way!
The kind that makes you feel like Pinnochio at the carnival..with the wild
music playing in the background…what a feeling, and what an image.
You are more than a photographer Deb!

fantastic,,,I can almost here the carousel music, as it slowly turns,,,, well done Deb,,,

excellent work – perfect light

perfect dream like image, lovely work as always

This is awesome Deb. I really love this one Stunning Shot

Deb…....... i love the dof, another classic parkin shot. Brilliant.

well done this is fantastic, superb DOF

I love the DOF as well. The framing, bright light and sharp focus on the riderless horse is inviting and creepy – those things are right up there just under circus clowns on the creepy & menacing scale. Fleur – the innocent – in soft focus, suspended between the viewer and danger – you want to call out, but you can’t be heard over the calliope’s siren’s song playing only for the ears of unsuspecting little children…oooh, spooky! Boy, am I making this up!!!! even close?

What is DOF, if I may ask? It is an exquisite image. I love it.

wonderful capture.
