Yes, eerie, and apocalyptic; but my monitor is too small, this needs to be seen REALLY big! Well done, Mark!

Oh, my, where's my miner's hat? Denise suggested you do this? That doesn't sound like her, the maven of light and beauty. That said, this definitely is eerie, Mark; a dark, dank dangerous milieu, where angels fear to tread, with what appear to be sharp unforgiving shards of stalactites threatening your very step. I wonder, what manner of creature(s) inhabit the nooks and crannies of this forbidden cavern….bats, giant spiders, or the remnants of long lost explorers who have mutated, crawling the walls and become voracious? The only aid to negotiate your way are those fluorescent tubes and what appears to be either a hole to the outside or some kind of searchlight at the bottom. In any event, you pulled off this attempt at eeriness and dread with flying colors, despite your physical status at the time, my friend. I'm confident that MrsRatbag will appreciate it.

Both of these images have a really, really scary look to them. I feel as though I've fallen thru a nasty looking glass and can't find anything to hang on to. This is one big, huge and awesome piece!!

Marvellous! This one is the more eerie, the other downright terrifying! Where the light source is seems crucial, I must remember that when tasked with these abstract challenges. Looking at this I can imagine the images of a hell conjured by the medieval church to control the peasants: just brilliant, Mark, Thankyou !

A spectacular piece Mark very ewell done!!

Fantastic manipulation and great result !

amazing

I kept looking at this and looking at it, and even though I saw the original and know what it is, THIS picture is upside down. Somehow your postwork choices make this an image that makes more sense to me the other way up. I don't generally look at people's work like that, but I did this one, and as soon as I flipped it I had a sense of "ahhhhhhh ... THAT's right!"

This is your stairwell on acid. Very weird and wild.

Being an impressionable sort of person, I shall comment on this before following Tara's suggestion and looking at it the other way up. This one is eerie to me. Whereas your second image made me think of industry in motion, this one makes me think of industry in decline. Perhaps industry that has long since ceased to function and whose purpose has been forgotten. Another thought is that it has been purposefully buried because it is dangerous. Now it waits for an unknowing soul to give it life again. The metal shines in the darkness to lure in the unwary. It waits, yearning and preparing. I looked at it the other way up and I can see what Tara meant. But now that I have spent time with it this way, I see it more as something that is buried deep, and lurking underground. The other way up is very different. More like the lights of a totalitarian power balefully staring into the alleys of the downtrodden. That's pretty eerie too.

Mark, congratulations on another marvelous idea. I like the way you went with her comments and took this to a whole new level. You certainly have achieved the ultimate in eerie effects
