Gretel

I do like it…..and i agree it does have an old world vibe to it….she certainly does look a little lost…

really enchanting – wonderful work :)

Yes, it’s lovely, I love the editing style, a very moody result :)

I like this Jay. It’s simple, but none the less worthy for that. The fact that the focus isn’t perfect also seems to work in its favour, giving it a somewhat distant, detached quality.

There’s actually a group for images that you think haven’t quite come up to scratch – Do Over. One of my most popular images was in that group for a while; in the end I thought “heck, so many folk think it’s great, I’ll stop calling it imperfect”!

i think it’s really great, and think the grainyness adds to its effect.

lovely

mmm it’s got a great, dream-like quality :) love it!

i do like the atmosphere Jay.. and yes it does have the lost feel..

Beautiful work Jay…whatever you thought was wrong with this image has certainly been handled quite nicely. I think it’s perfect. :)

definately Hansel and Gretel,,, well done, great image

This is absolutely fantastic on every level! Beautifully done ~ intentional or not! LOL

I think it’s great, straight to faves for me! I agree, Hansel and Gretel feel. Wonderful image.

I think the slight blurring of her hair adds movement .

Great shot :o)

Front Page!

Seems like a snapshot somehow taken during medieval times.

acceptable standard?!! more than acceptable…home-page acceptable!! It’s fantastic. well done!

gorgeous

YOu shouldn’t underestimate simplicity, this is wonderful! :D

stunning!

This is really a beautiful work!!! Has something magical indeed!!!!

Sometimes the simple images are the most effective, the fact it is grainy and not razor sharp adds to the mystery. Well done and good on you for putting it up.

Wonderful image and lovely treatment! Beautiful!

i like this alot. it seems somehow victorian and reminds me of the railway children.

Congrats on front page. Love this!

Congrats on being on the main page!!!! It’s stunning!

I love the emotion this image gives off. Beautiful work!

Congratulations on the home page feature!

I was immediately impressed by this photograph… then I am a big fan of what I call ambigious simplicity.
and that is exactly what this is… at first glance the scene appears unassuming and lacking immediate impact… but as I look at it I am drawn to the trees and want to follow the girl to see if that is where she is going.
Suddenly I realize there is so much open interpretation here… and I realize why I was immediately attracted to the scene.

haha.. yes I think the feature at the homepage could have had something to do with the sudden raise in comments on this work ;-)
Enjoy!

the railways children was a film / tv series / play / etc set in the early 1900s. this particular crop (ie, not showing the footwear) reminds me of the clothes that the girls wore, ie, like this or this . a tenious link really lol :)

cool Jay..looks like a scene from the film ‘The Village’

this is good.

Beautiful in its simplicity, wonderful soft tones.

This is fantastic

Please consider adding this (and other groovy images) to Retro Conglomerate

The Group is not merely about retro models or attire or items or what have you … for me it is more about the Look and Feel of the overall editing/photography process.

If you’d rather withhold it, I completely understand! If we all saw the world in the same lens, what reason would there be for each of us to hold a different camera? ;)

its gorgeous, so simple and beautiful and the composition and treatment is perfect

This is beautiful.

Here is an old screenshot of a homepage where this work was on, it was on february 15 of 2009
