The light here is absolutely beautiful!

Really like the dark tones in this one. Great processing!

nice light, and the feeling of infinity is nicely rendered
comment byLightseeker at 07:52 PM (GMT) on 1 October, 2007
Just the right amount of light tones and highlights to offset the 'menace'.

Excellent mood, Dave. The pole in the water adds some visual context and the dark tones create an appealing image. :-)

Captured XXXX? Have you been drinking with your Aussie brother-in-law ;-) Or are we supposed to guess what time of day? Lovely shot which looks kinda moonlit but I would say isn't :-)

Good and brooding.

Overabundant with artificial light creating a serene atmosphere of pure genius... or chaos. Plastic ducks or bicycles absent, yet perfect form and absolute perfection of the vast reflection of humanity. Bravissimo, David.. Bravissimo.

sorry, long time visitor, first time commenter.

This is dripping with atmosphere - I love the dark toning.
comment byRob at 04:07 AM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
I love this shot. When this opened up on my browser my jaw dropped. Great moody shot.
My thought is that this is absolutely excellent work! Everything is here - the strange place, beauty of nature, calmness, danger, unknown. Excellent!

Wow this is great - it is like a surreal road leading into the water with the juxtaposition of the sign right in the middle of it.

Oh man, that is beautiful!! Wonderfully captured, the right man at the right time at the right place. And the postprocessing is stunning!
comment bythomas mueller at 09:18 AM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
i like the light in there and the mood transported by the beautiful postprocessing. nice one!
comment byeterisk at 11:09 AM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
This one is not only a good postprocessing, but also in a composition and lighting that grows the further you look at it.
comment byKeith De-Lin at 01:50 PM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
wonderfully moody.
comment byBetsy Barron at 02:16 PM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
you have sick talent. Love it.
comment byMohamadreza at 05:28 PM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
Absolutely stunning.
comment byRoy at 05:54 PM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
This is a very satisfying image on many fronts, not least of which being that you enjoyed creating it!
Reminds me somewhat of some of the brooding and atmospheric work of Michael Kenna; not bad company to be in by any means :-)
comment by bber at 05:56 PM (GMT) on 2 October, 2007
This one is great. I would love to see the original. I think it would make for a great tutorial.
reminds me of the scene in the Godzilla movie, where an old fisherman first sees the godzilla.
splendid dark colors.
comment bychiara at 03:22 PM (GMT) on 7 October, 2007
Absolutely beautiiful. I love the merging of the water with the earth.
comment byElgarim at 07:59 AM (GMT) on 9 October, 2007
Absolutely love this one. Great use of color to set the mood and the feel of uncertain calm is very nice.
comment by EddieM at 10:17 AM (GMT) on 31 October, 2007
I love this spot; it is different everytime I visit it. Like the processing, I will have to check out the tutorial.
comment byTom K. at 03:56 PM (GMT) on 31 October, 2007
The mood here is palpable. Superb work.
comment byRichard H at 03:31 AM (GMT) on 30 November, 2007
This reminds me of a repeat dream I had quite often when I was younger.
We ended up driving our car down a really steep road that just suddenly forked... one road just vanished under water.
I don't have too much to say about this one other than that I enjoyed producing it. As always though, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Update: my apologies for not updating today (2nd October). I'll get something up tomorrow.

Great light and pp but I can't believe you did not line up the planking with the edge of the frame! Looks like a simple job for Distort to me!
agree with bber - would love to see the original and a tutorial on this one. Great image - superb processing - spectacular light and toning.
You did some nice processing over here. I love these tones, and the light on the water is beautiful...!
Great mood, is this before or after the storm ? I'm enjoying the duo tone.
Thanks everyone :-)
Bonsoir,
Great processing ..Great harmony..Bravo!
Fabulous shot! I love the tones you chose to use - really enhances the mood of the image.
