It is a lovely photograph and it also has many potential! Such as a glowy light at the end of the shortcut maybe? :-D
Andrew Bosman, 11 months ago

Spooky Sylvia! I love the way the trees and path draw you into the photo and then close down at the end, revealing nothing…...... very mysterious.
hugo, 11 months ago

very mysterious, the converging lines of the trees lead to darkness. lack of color also adds to the mystery, suiting the title as….......short cuts usually have their drawbacks. well done!!

Beautiful shot!
Jeff Burns, 11 months ago

Extremely wicked eerie picture. Your portfolio is excellent. Great Work.
Kitsmumma, 11 months ago

Hi Carla, thanks so much for your comments. Believe it or not, I took this shot last Sunday at about 2:00 in the afternoon. It was a little backlit, hence the shadows and also the little bit of flare at the end of the path. Love your portfolio by the way, especially the birds and frog. Just wonderful, you are very talented.

Hey WitheringMoon, thank you so much.

Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your lovely comments. I’m flattered.

great mood and feeling in this – just love the way the tips of the trees meet the sky and there is this amazing directional voyage, that’s both exciting and full of intrepedation. great work
Kitsmumma, 11 months ago

Hi Paul, thank you so much for such a wonderful comment and compliment. I have been wanting to take a photograph of this driveway for years and finally stopped to do it last weekend. It was probably the wrong time of day but I had to make the most of the opportunity. Thanks again.
