    More, more, more!
    Padlock is just perfect.. All those cobwebs.. clap.gif A bit more contrast maybe, but it's great as is.

    The Witch tree is also very nice. Rare exception when selective coloring works (form me, that is) thumb.gif . I would probably cropped of the bottom part, since those large pants distract from the tree.

    The Staircase is also very nice, but probably pure b/w (or duotone) would deliver a stonger image.

    Haunted castle is a nice shot, but the manicured grass around it kinda spoiles the effect. Tighter crop from the bottom to enchance the "haunted" message, maybe? ne_nau.gif

    As to the forest path - it's a nice b/w shot, but I don't feel anything hunting in it, just a forest trail...

    Thanks for sharing and hope this help!

    Cheers! 1drink.gif

    Great series Lynn. I love the first two the most. I love those crisp high contrast black and whites. Great shooting.

    What a great series, whatever post processing you did on that first shot was spot on. It has such a great feel to it.thumb.gif
    Oh and the rest of the photo's follow the theme with the same eerie feeling. Nice workclap.gif
    May I take your picture?
