Out my Window

Darkly moody but beautiful Liz. I like the small twigs illuminated by moonlight?

 

Well done - Best, David

Please leave me a comment.

Wow.

Liz,

I like the composition and structure of the picture, but it is so dark you can't feel the image or see the details. - Charles

Looks very real.......what time of day was this shot?

Liz: I like the composition, but the image being so dark, makes it look so uninviting. If you get a chance please take a look at my latest post, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Tom

I quote: "Liz: I like the composition, but the image being so dark, makes it look so uninviting" and I can relate to that comment. I immediately wanted to grab it and shed some light on it. However, you are the artist and I am sure this is the mood and vision you had for this image. I won't rate this one but i will check out your other images. Best regards,

The dark tones of the white snow and the dim and shadowy woods create the oddest sensation. Strangely enough, by darkening the details it seems to emphasize their importance in our minds. My imagination likes to pick up such a picture and turn it this way and that to discover why it is so fascinating. I noticed some of the commenters complained that the picture was too dark. I disagree. This picture asks the viewers to linger and spend a few moments in the quiet twilight and rewards then if they do.

Wonderful mood created here Liz, love the feel,/ envey your beautiful view!!!!

This is just great for me: I love seeing all the different opinions. Rarely can I achieve that kind of notice. I will admit that I played around with tones and light. I love to create, for fun. Sometimes, I can do it okay.

Very good b/w!

Excellent image Liz! This image is all about subtleties. The low contrast, soft light, and delicate snow covered foliage, dictated the nature of the image, and you listened. Well done!

All the best,

Neil

Thanks, Maurizio and Neil, for your comments.

Beautiful image with very high quality of bw tonality.

Thank you for stopping by, Sumon.

My thoughts on this one fall in line with Jack's. I find the darkness is the invitation to explore the frame and study the relationship of light and shadow. If this were brightened up it would become just another pretty winter scene.

Great mood of beautiful, soft silence. Well done. Regards, ~~~~~~Linda

Thank you, Gordon and Linda. I was after a moody, dark scene.
