• Hello Pepper!

Haunting prospect

The garden front of Kings Weston House grows evermore wild and unkempt. The house has almost disappeared from view along much of it and only appears at the end of the overgrown avenue half way down the length. Adds to the atmosphere of the place i guess

    Nicely framed. My fear of asymmetry may be unfounded.

    Could imagine it as the cover of a scary novel! It's lovely but oh, so cold!

    Dave, you make me feel creepy. instead of great future prospect, you wrote a prospect of haunted building. lol. OK, it will be a great history of haunted mansion, pal. let me know when it is in YouTube, will ya?

    Like the haunting feel of the shot Dave. I am sure if you look through the window you'll see Miss Havisham.

    Very lovely colours indeed. Much more sedate that that blowsy female that precedes it in your stream.

    Very cool processing! Very peaceful.

    For all the above reasons this image just works, and works very, very well. Nicely done, Dave!

    I do not know why, but when I saw this beautiful image, I immediately thought of Proust: A la recherche du temps perdu ...

    Nicely composed and processed shot Dave.

    heh. I am really flattered by your comment. I LOVE asymmetry. Do try it more :-)

    Thanks mate. I wasnt sure how to process this one. I came up with this that pleased me, so Im glad its mutual

    Thank you very much. Yeh it was teh framing that the trees provided taht I loved

    heh heh. I was pleased with the gothic feel to this one Birbeck. Dont be frightened!

    lol. Youtube? I'm hoping for a blockbuster movie!

    Cherrs. Your'e very kind


    Thank you

    Cheers mate. I am pleased with teh processing here though it does feel a little artificial I think it creates a great atmosphere

    Cheers Michal. Glad it came out so hauntingly evocative. Thnaks again

    *blush* and i kept my clothes on throughout! Thanks mate. Means a lot

    I LOVE this place. I need to take you here some time soon

    Thanks Zach. You are becoming a pretty regular visitor to my stream. So happy!

    heh heh. I id feel like i had to reassert my brooding, moody, masculinity. Thanks Chris

    thank you Sly. Glad it came across like that

    Thank you kindly Jay. I am realy flattered and so glad that this shot has been so popular

    oh heck! You are far better read than I am it seems! I am afraid I know very little of Proust.

    Thank you James. Felt I had gone a bit far with it, but really surprised at how popular it has turned out. Thanks mate

    thank you. Yeh I loved the way that they bent across teh top of the shot to frame it. thanks very much

    thank you

    ah, yes. Rebecca! I know wat you mean. Actually this reminds me somewhat of some of the Victorian architecture in the Souther States. All it is missing is some Spanish moss.

    Ryan. You are very kind. Thank you very much. You know that means a lot. Cheers

    thank you

    You are too kind Matthew. I have to say that I didn't think that I would be able to make anything with this shot. The contrasts seemed too high and the colour insipid. I am really stunned by the response it has received. Thanks mate

    thanks

    cheers

    thnk you and thanks for letting me know

    thank you

    cheers

    you are very kind. Thank you

    I like the angle and entrance of the house position in the picture... nothing is "centered" as usual ... it's an awesome shot! :) The colors are really neat too!
