Took a stroll this morning and suddenly I had a revelation! Boy, if you could feel it - the sucktion to climb the stairs - it was so beautiful and there was this breathtaking calmness. But I strongly believe that it wasn't time for me yet - so I snapped a pic and walked away. :o) *Haha*

    You did it again man... Great job. Why is it that when we stop trying so hard to find images, we find images all around us?headscratch.gifne_nau.gif

    Thanx BrothersMedia!
    Yes, it's like when you by force try to remember something - the harder you try, the harder it gets. If you let go of it and open your mind, soon you'll start to "see things". (Oh boy, WHAT am I talking about? But it sounds good!) :D

    Hi..


    Yes, hopefully it is not your time yet.

    What an amazing shot--the gates to heaven (which are locked at the moment)--the cross--the unkept garden. This photo has a bit of gruesome feel to it. Excellent choice of sephia--and excellent choice on your part to walk away:):

    Matty, you've got a good eye for a photo. This shot is absolutely magic. thumb.gif

    Not sure which one I prefer, I like the tones better in the 1st one, the 2nd is more dramatic. They are both stunning photo's.

    The second one is also amazing--very dramatic detail.


    I think even better,

    Lovely image. The composition and the lighting tell a powerful story.

    I don't think you need to trick it up with color. The bright light on the cross is all the juice you need.

    Sometimes I think it's stupid to do two or more versions of the same image. I just can't deside wich one I prefer. headscratch.gif

    Yes, I guess you're right! thumb.gif Sometimes it's just to easy to get carried away by pp. Perhaps one shouldn't do different versions, it just adds confusion. umph.gif
