I had such fun taking this series. The bridge is over water that is covered by algae....this is a running creek.

Critique Club Review:
Quite an interesting phtograph.
Good depth of field, focus is fine. I like the yellow and green saturation. However, to my eye the "wizard" is almost a distraction. He seems almost "photo-shopped" in. The light is from behind him, yet he is lit from the front and casts no shadow.

You have a really good, mysterious photo here. Almost a monchromatic study. A darker "wizard" would have been more of a compliment.

Overall a very good photo.

Who is the bearded guy? Or is it you? Great how you captured a Middle-earthy athmosphere here. Congratulations!

I like this even more now that I come back for a second viewing - maybe a little too much with the yellow and green?

very striking image ... well done

I love the trees, the coloring, the shadows and light, the bridge is very nice, and that wizard ends up being a distraction for me. He actually takes away from the magical and mystery elements, at least for me. Perhaps this is because the magic and mystery is already apparent, and doesn't seem to need the wizard in control.

Very good for this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2006 11:35:13 PM
Mystery and magic in one shot. I guess I would've liked to see more of the magician, though. The rest of it is so dark and green that a stronger subject would improve it. Still, a 5.

Pretty processed, but me likey. The cutout or guy with the beard is a great touch. The M&M feel is strong here. 7

This is a really amazing shot, it's going in my favourites!

I like the mood of the setting. The lighting and color are excellent. However I'm having some difficulty reconcilling the brightness (and whiteness)of the wizard with such a strong and colored backlight. That perhaps is supposed to be the magical aspect of the photo but it doesn't quite work for me. Overall it's very nicely crafted otherwise.

This is such a creative photo. Absolutely great!

I like this. This I think is something people could hang on their walls, although for DPC it may be a little over-processed. But I like it!
