A walk in the park

Maybe for the brave amongst us. Dark & moody. Luv it

Lighting is perfect just right, beautiful mood shot !

No way, not too dark. Just gorgeous Mel..Big fav..

There’s a place for dark as well as light. It’s lovely.

Lovely Mel

Beautiful lighting Mel!

OH! No,it’s mystical and spooky,love it.

Eerie yes, It’s a gorgeous place but I wouldn’t walk there alone …................oh no !

Beautiful work Mel…Atmosphere is terrific!!

not too dark at all! Lovely shot, dark and moody…fires the imagination

Beautiful shot Mel

Is it too dark?...absolutely not! it’s perfect!
Just the right amount of spooky light… it’s so beautiful but I wouldn’t want to be there after dark… all alone…. just by myself….

The light, composition and blur,,, Perfect!!:)

the woods are lovely dark and deep
and I have promises to keep
but I have time before I sleep
so down the path I go …

[my apologies to Robert Frost (smile)]

Mel this is a very fine shot .. I love how the misty light outlines the tree down the path .. would I actually walk it at night .. not likely but it is enticing (smile)

Magic lighting Mel. Like the way you have also blurred parts. John

this is stunning Mel!

Depends on the mood you’re trying to set. For me its not too dark at all.

I really like the contrasts between the light and dark that you’ve achieved here.

NO WAY, love how dark it is – adds to the mood… great imgae!

Not too dark, just right! Gorgeous mysterious shot.

very nice piece

Different for you Mel.
Different is good.

No, this is not too dark. This is a really superb image. Really nice.

Fab

Wonderful spooky image Mel, with just the right amount of light.

perfect!

I like how dark it is…Looks like you are heading out of the darkness and into the light.
Very cool

It’s perfect Mel, will look great large scale! :D

The darkness adds great atmosphere and mystery. Gorgeous image….

Loving this-DON’T MESS WITH IT….........

stunning shot Mel, the lighting is perfect,,, well done

Nice Mysterious feeling Mel!! Perfect B&W Shot!

That depends on what it is for, I guess. I like it as it is though, very “Little Red Riding Hood” sort of feel to it. One starts looking for the sinister..

Mel You worry too much Great moody shot with a touch of magic

I agree, everything you put up here is great. This has a deep emotive feel to it, drawing me backwards into the light!

This looks kind of eery yet so inviting, i love it!!!

A very moody shot. The low lying mist adds to the air of mystery …

No I think it’s beautiful Mel

loads of mood, just right

Ghostly images!!! Dark adds to the mood Mel

wow this is gorgeous, love the DOF and focus, great job! and no not too dark, just right!

atmospheric!

moody&misty, lovely image

Wonderful photo Mel…. it’s a bit to dark for me, so you may have to hold my hand!!! ;-)

great feel in this

Nice photo with something of mistery.

No no no – it’s absolutely perfect – it gives a complete gradation of tone zones like this and really enhances the beauty and the mystery – love the risks you take (and they all work because you are so bloody good!)

Beautiful atmosphere Mel, fantastic shot :)

nope…... the dark sections just make the light that more inviting…. great contrast of emotion all in one image…........ once again mel… spot on….................b

It’s moody and lovely – just perfect!

wonderful mood it may scare some but to me it’s a entrance to a woodland wonderland I like how you used a bit of blur

Mysterious and compelling!

Wonderful combination of light and dark – just right!

i think its gorgeous

incredibly atmospheric!

i’d say the lighting is spot on perfect :) awesome atmopsphere

Top atmosphere here,Mel.

Lovely Mel. Great mood. Hey there Little Red Riding Hood…you sure are looking good…to me…

Love the contrast between dark and light, especially the lighting of the ground in the centre. Maybe, it’s because i’m commenting hot on the heel of watching the x-files but it seems a very unworldly light beaming down from the sky.

yes, great control.

hauntingly beautiful LOVE IT !

It is not dark for me…for me it is great…beautiful work!

Creates a great mood. Well done.

No, the darkness creates the mood, as everyone has said above me. Well done.

The light and haze make for a photo that is SO MUCH MORE than a photo – this is a dream. This is a breath from God…..for .this is immortal.

Wow, it’s almost ghostly. Love it.

Magic as it is…........i love how diverse your work is…....

Love the feel of this a lot!!

reminds me a lot of Sally Mann’s work. Nice!

breathtaking, magical . . . i just haven’t the words to describe this mel! i love it.

Nah..i can handle it…with a gun perhaps for courage…bloody awesome place and time. Im not going in there first but. :)) MS
