Great moody winter scene, a walk down the hill. Like the processing too.

Almost dark, but still enough light to make a great scene. V.

Fascinating!

The processing works really well here... love the starbursts and the dark and moody feel it has!

So this is what Scotland looks like? I've never been there, but look forward to seeing what your photos have to offer.
I really like the moody feel of this image! :^)

There's a dark side to Aberdeen??? Mmm, yeah, actually there is - I remember it well :o) Those trees look a bit spooky!
Bernard Davis03-Jan-2010 19:00
Dark and moody indeed. Nice one.
Ronald Bijtenhoorn03-Jan-2010 15:29
I like the strong contrast and the street leads the eye straight into the image; very nice
Marielou Dhumez03-Jan-2010 14:33
Like a vintage photograph from the beginnings of it !
Sheila03-Jan-2010 13:57
Bleak, even with the lamps. Excellent work.
Yvonne03-Jan-2010 11:14
Certainly is stark and bleak - perfect for a black & white mono!
Guest 03-Jan-2010 10:49
Great start!
Carl and Racine Erland03-Jan-2010 07:01
Great perspective and like the 'darker side' focus.

Very nice portrait of the early darkness!
Cindi Smith03-Jan-2010 04:22
Oh yeah.....Stewart is in the house! Love this image! Glad you decided to join us!

Love this texture and the sharp, starry lamps! Very strong and moody winter scene. V

Excellent !
Fay Stout03-Jan-2010 01:55
The street leads you right into the photo and the lights are the crowning touch...
Walter Otto Koenig03-Jan-2010 01:34
Nice grainy shot with this perspective and exposure. I like the starry lights. Glad you're joining us again Stewart.

You've taken such an ordinary scene and created a timeless portrait worthy of the greats of the 19th century. That is a tough challenge.. great work. V
Jeff Lobaugh03-Jan-2010 01:23
Great start to the challenge!
Kathryn02-Jan-2010 23:51
What a wonderful start, I look forward to seeing your take on the 'darker side'.
Doug Cruden02-Jan-2010 23:49
Ooo, welcome back to the Challenge, Stewart! I'm looking forward to seeing your 'film noir' Northern Lights :o))) And this is a great start...love that delicate and subtle processing...!
