I love the composition here Deborah and silhouette of the boys as well as the sky!

Lumineux, 7 months ago

The atmosphere here is so palpable, such a wonderful vastness & stillness about it. This image has the feel of an old cinematic still. Gorgeous work Deb.

Ashley Ng, 7 months ago

Nice silhouette work again, Deb. (I think I’ve seen this hill before!)

Rhana Griffin, 7 months ago

Superb treatment as always Deb. I get a real sense of harmony from this image, a recall back to those years when everything was so simple… friendships were easily made and just as easily broken. Only to be reforged stronger than ever the very next day.

sword, 7 months ago

You have a real talent for capturing the moment and making it special.Plus a lovely little story to go with it well done Deborah

Ken Mucke, 7 months ago

This is really an amazing image you were able to capture….the stillness of the boys and the magnatude of the skynis so countering each other that it really makes a tremendous shot…...It is as the heavens and sky are going to open up at any moment….and they are just quietly being alone in this huge world….nothing else is in existance for that split moment for them…..superbly captured…..

Benjamin Scheurer, 7 months ago

Deborah Parkin in reply to berndt2’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks berndt – i really wanted to portray friendship – here in the UK all we ever hear about is how bad young kids are and i just wanted to show that it’s not always like that. Don’t know about you but i could be a mouthy so and so at times but i wasn’t bad :)

david malcolmson, 7 months ago

An eloquent image, Deborah. One of my favourites.

Lovely silhouette photo…has a spiritual feel to it.

tonilouise, 7 months ago

Brilliant as always Deb..You always managed to convey such strong feelings in your images..Superb..

Graham Dean, 7 months ago

The two figures on their own though mainly flat black are so expressive and seem to have so much detail and the hill and sky are fantastic, ( I keep leaning over to see if I can see further down the hill) lol. Altogether its such a wonderful picture Deb, one of your classics.

Deborah Parkin in reply to tonilouise’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks Toni – always lovely to hear from you :)

Beautiful, staring off into the heavens, very moody

Colin Hollywood, 7 months ago

Amazing

Martin Derksema, 7 months ago

I would love to see this with dimensions of 2 by 3 meters, or something like that. Real big. It is such an impressive work. If less is more, this image writes a novel. About friendship indeed. It is such a quiet and silent moment. And in the silence there is a whole universe of thoughts and emotions. The impressive sky emphesizes how important these moments are; they make the world turn around. The whole image also tells how important it is these moments are seen, in this case by you. A monument for (childhood) friendship.

Naomi Frost, 7 months ago

Tremendous treatment, Deb. You’ve captured the moment perfectly.

Halcyon007, 7 months ago

The description gives the true event that occurred but I didn’t get this from the shot on my own. They look to be really reflecting on something and the dark tones and strong silhouettes tinge it with sadness for me. The heavy strong clouds just add this to the mood and reflection on an event is what the image gives me.
This really is “In The Moment” stuff!

Judi Taylor, 7 months ago

Powerful image. A lot of feeling here.

Mark Tisdale, 7 months ago

striking, very striking… I clicked favorite without a moments thought…

The simplicity here speaks volumes. This is up there on my list..
I gave your card to Mum, by the way. (I was offline at the time of receiving it-
and yes, it finally came!) she actually gasped when she saw it. :)
Loved it. She has it displayed on her shelf, and I see it each time I go over.
Thanks again Deb-and it looks great printed!
