Jolly good show.

This is really a treat. The graininess gives it a soft quality I find very appealing. And the image being mostly midtones allow the figures to subtlely emerge. Love it.

This isn't MK is it? Doesn't look half this atmospheric when I'm there. :-)

Excellent B&W! I would say its dramatic and probably even scary a little bit, but definetely misterious.

takes me back to the forties-fifties radio show of "The Shadow" . . .your treatment of the photo enhances the 'dark & mysterious' mood.

Very fine moody b&w - framing and composition are excellent

Guest		09-Aug-2004 20:23
Lovely capture...dramatic and mysterious!

Very mysterious. Love the planes of light and dark.

This is fantastic, Ray. You created such a mood with the toning and grain! The perspective created by the vertical columns and horizontal beams is greatly accentuated by the crop. I love the squares within squares. The lone figure in the background is intriguing. Very well done!

Great photo, loads of emotions and thought passing here, great!

Guest		09-Aug-2004 19:07
That's odd. This one doesn't disturb me at all. I think its beautifully composed, serene, severe, interesting, worth looking at but not at all threatening.

Guest		09-Aug-2004 18:59
Very disturbing picture Ray, well seen and shot.
