Exit

Naomi Frost, 8 months ago

Love the way you have used the light here, Deb. Those shadows are fabulous.

Halcyon007, 8 months ago

I don’t know how you find these places Deb. The openes of the door, with the light streaming in catching the brickwork on the ground and highlighting their magnificent textures is fantastic.

The glow of the light on the child’s hair and the long shadows drawn also instantly catch your eye. The title is spot on – To me the image conjures up the end of the visit, discussions over what had just been seen as they venture out to the cafe / gift shop or way home.

Finally the trap door just keeps grabbing my attention each time I go back for another look. As does the window (I think it is) on the door on the right.

A classic DP shot and a great addition to the pf Deb

This really is stunning work Deb.. the light here is wonderful.. excellent long shadows and the highlights on the sons hair brilliant. I love the framing of this, how the door frame frames the father and son and inturn is framed with the whole shot. Really great atmosphere here too.. it looks like a cold winters afternoon to me..

This is a very beautiful capture Deborah! And a lovely scene, love it!

Caroline Gorka, 8 months ago

A lovely picture all round, from the image to your description

Jo Fedora, 8 months ago

beautifully constructed image…the viewer directed towards the exit

Rhana Griffin, 8 months ago

This is so beautiful Deb. I love how it seems Dad is hunched over against the cold and yet the boy skips along merrily, oblivious to the weather, just happy to be in the company of his idol. The glow around his hair is just gorgeous too…

Sharon Hammond, 8 months ago

Excellent mood created here by the light, textures, shadows…the list goes on

Simon Gladwin, 8 months ago

Catherine Davis, 8 months ago

I love it for all the reasons stated above. Amazing!

Jeff Burns, 8 months ago

You amaze me with this stuff and I also have no clue how you find these places I am starting to wonder if they really exist. LOL
The lighting is amazing. Brilliant stuff Deb

gordontant, 8 months ago

OK, what can I say that hasn’t already been said… not much really…... so ditto to the above

Brian Beckett, 8 months ago

Excellent image once again Debs I love the way the two children are walking into the light and their shadows falling diagonally into the foreground, it’s simply stunning work well done.

coffeebean, 8 months ago

This is a stunning image, fantastic light and shadow working in this

Robert Knapman, 8 months ago

There’s so much in this to see and feel. A highlight for me is the little window on the right and the soft light it seems to cast on the tree…which of course it isn’t. There are mysteries and roundabouts and perspectives within perspectives. A fascinating study and a magical image.

Colin Tobin, 8 months ago

Beautiful atmosphere with your stunning capture of natural light. I love how the sun is highlighting the boy’s hair.
A very poignant image for me.
Great work Deborah, I don’t know how I missed this one.

RichardV, 8 months ago

Birgitta, 8 months ago

Simply gorgeous. There’s a softness here that is quite appealing!
And the lighting is superb. :)

Lisadee, 8 months ago

Love this.

Andy Evans, 8 months ago

Great picture Deb – very well exposed on what is obviously a difficult shot.
Even though the sky is bright you have still kept the detail in those cobblestones.
And in B/W well that just makes it.
Well done

Angela Stewart, 8 months ago

Graham Dean, 8 months ago

The shadows and the view through the doorway especially, have such a beautiful painted quality. I believe Deb you can turn anything into one of these amazing Deborah Parkins. A bit like the Midas touch only the Parkin touch is black and white gold. lol.

Mark Tisdale, 8 months ago

Another awesome B&W – great contrast – I especially love the glow of light around the little one’s hair – wow!

Martin Derksema, 8 months ago

There are so many ways of looking at this picture. I’ll stick to the beauty of it, which has so many dimensions. First of all this soft, stroking, velvet darkness that is such a pleasure to look at. Gives me a feeling as if it pleasantly absorbs me. The there is the fact that I can look so far into this image. Zwoofff … there goes my mind, straight to the horizon and further. Then there is the beautiful light that does magical things with the pavement and the hair of the persons. And off course there is the human element that adds so much beautiful emotion to this experience. The architecture and the fact you can look so far into the image makes me think about certain paintings of Vermeer. You’re good.

Rod Adams, 8 months ago

I like this a lot!!!

marcusjohn, 8 months ago

WOW Deb – the differences in every shot you take is amazing. Each one tells a story and is done so perfectly.
This is fantastic, the lighting, the tones, the composition all faultless..
Just love the light reflect coming through the tree , onto the building, highlighting the shadows of father and son. This has a beautiful feel to it, so perfectly captured. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING….
