richard van hoesel 0 Posted January 9, 2004 The introduction of a figure into this landscape that I saw featured in one of your other pieces is a great idea Rene - just the finishing touch it wanted. Although this particular hooded figure is a little too sterotypical fantasy-like for me, that's just my personal taste of course. Excellent work regardless. Link to comment
navarra 0 Posted January 9, 2004 Too bad the hood looks like he got it from Eminem. The expression is what makes the picture for me as well. After looking at it for some time, the man seems pasted in front of the swamp... still love his expression. I think this is a good commercial images, would be perfect for advertising a movie. In conclusion this has a great impact but after that I prefer other images in your portfolio. Simone Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Rene, is that you on the picture ? It sound like the man is holding the camera and is taking the picture itself... Link to comment
mike_famiglietti 0 Posted January 9, 2004 This probably won't help my popularity around here but to me this looks like something that would hang in a teenagers basement next to a cheap set of drums, maybe with a black light on it. Technically good but not to my taste. Mike. Link to comment

misterken 0 Posted January 12, 2004 Rene - I just took a quick tour through your folder: I am humbled. I am not quite up to commenting on the technical aspects of this image, but it's emotional appeal is very strong. - Mister Ken Link to comment

robyn_swank 0 Posted June 24, 2004 This is by far one of the greatest pictures I have ever seen. Everything about it is perfect to me. Link to comment
billysyk 0 Posted August 3, 2006 I was thinking not to rate any of your works not because there is none to be even rated but because I think you have the gift for not even needing any kind of rating. Thus I find your works out of competition. Neverhteless I tried VERY hard to rate the one best of your works here in photo.net The three finals for me were the nightmare (with the man reading on the beam of light), the girl with the green dress and red hair on the staircase and this. This is the far more difficult to capture not because of the technique you always use on pshop but of the person you found for the dead persons lake. This is COMPOSING ! You take person, scenery, atmosphere, feeling, colours and you mix it with a superb talent. The two minus you have though is that you want to reach to a point that your sensitivity does not let you, making this way delicate pieces of art. The second minus is that you keep returning to the same subjects over and over again wanting to capture the specific thing you desire to capture. This is maby you biggest weakness (lack of many subjects), but again every person has its own personality. You could start a tour finding gothic abandoned places and then changing the way you know the outcome...But you also live in a place full of great sceneries (many could kill to take one shot). Allow me a future seeing without any misunderstanding :-) Horror movie dvd covers is your path and Holywood will start to see you and recognize you as the creator of the right atmosphere. Maybe you could be director of photography next to Spielberg who knows!!! The sure thing is that you have come here to stay many years with your WORKS of ART. I stare at you NOT with the eye of the amazed any more but with the eye of the healthy competitor. You have set a level I must surpass. Thank you :-) Link to comment
chromatic-aberration 0 Posted November 13, 2006 I'd vote for a different border (mainly ditch the light gray line). That's the only thing that I can find fault with this image. Quite nice. Link to comment
raven photography 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Some may not enjoy this piece with relation to light and contrast, but it's only due to their distance from the darker side of things....(reality of things) I personally find this inspiring.... Where do you find your characters (models)? Very nice & grim! Link to comment
biancavanderwerf 0 Posted January 12, 2007 So impressive!!!! As always, hahaha......... The mood is outstandig Rene.... Is this a selfportrait by the way? Excellent Link to comment
warimages 0 Posted January 12, 2007 A perfectly creepy original image. It is for me an epic shot. Top work. 7/7 Thank you Rene. Link to comment
sprouty 0 Posted January 12, 2007 I apologize ahead of time for being the lone detractor, but I truly can't get beyond the problem with the lighting. The face simply doesn't match the background, the shadows fall wrong. And that takes it, for me at least, from a great concept to something much less than that. I hate to say it, but it almost appears contrived. My comments are offered with no offense intended, and nothing more than my opinion. Best, Stephen Link to comment
