Description

Do you have the courage to walk across that well-lit bridge into the dark forest beyond? Mwaaaahaahaahaahaahaa!!!! (Music swells, a scream is heard, stage left.) :D A couple weeks ago Denise (MrsRatbag) and I went to the Arboretum, and of course we took pictures of many of the same things. The challenge in that is to make your images look different from the other person's, to have a slightly different vision, a different take on something you both saw. In some cases, the differences had to be in postwork, because the shots themselves were so similar. This is my version of the foot bridge into the Arboretum. We were actually there in broad daylight.

It's been a while.... I see that I missed a lot. Lots of beautiful pictures were made since. This is one of them. Just gorgeous!

Amazing! I love crossing old, dark bridges. I did that many times, usually over the Vltava on more occasions than I care to admit. Fewer of them were sober than I care to admit, but that's a long, different story! Great work here. I love your post work, the colors, the intensity of the mood here. This is great! Fantastic work!

This is moody. I love it. I saw it over Chip's shoulder as he was looking at it and commenting. He got his notebook out and started scribbling something down. That goes to show how good it is. I agree...this is stunning. It's very gothic, and for some reason I keep thinking that Lestat is back there somewhere in a crushed velvet overcoat, just waiting for hapless people to come over that bridge. Great work!

broad daylight, huh—yu've got one sinister Photoshop! It's beautiful, and I remember all of Denise's too, they were beautiful as well. You got an almost liquid feel in the railing, and the lighting on the bridge really brings out the dark all around it. Beautiful, and for me less demanding of courage than just looking and soaking it in. Beautiful captures in both your galleries. A delicate & intense shot.
