To jest coś niesamowitego. Ilustracja złowrogiej baśni o potworach zamieszkujących gęsty las. Kompozycja symetryczna, ale ciekawa, kolorystyka zupełnie nietuzinkowa. Widać tu cały Twój kunszt.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego weekendu.

Hi Aleksander,
An amazing POV here. One is looking through a tunnel of hornbeams, and the scene could well be out of Lord Of The Rings. I love the golden light at the end of the tunnel. The exposure level is just right. Congrats on this imaginative and effective capture.

Un décor de film d'épouvante, Aleksander.
J'aime le graphisme et la perspective de ces branches avec, juste au fond, la lumière comme le bout d'un tunnel.

ben4321 (9875) 2007-03-10 12:23

A superbly dark and mysterious image Aleksander, and you composed it very well with the repeating inverted archways of the twisted trees giving a great sense of depth.
Although I'm not usually a fan of colour toning, I think it's worked well in this case and adds a lot to the atmosphere.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

rakeshgupta (2672) 2007-03-13 4:40

Hi Aleksander,
It looks like many hands of the nature are protecting small light lamp. This is beautiful composition and overall idea to implement it is just excellent. Great POV and idea.
Thanks for sharing.

mortijo (12828) 2007-03-27 8:27

An excellent composition. The post processing is phantastic. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

rigoletto (34279) 2007-05-07 3:36

I was always attracted with this one while wandering through your gallery Mr. Gruszecki. So it is only today that i am writing to it, so sorry for the delay :)
Who could guess what they are without your description? This view indeed looks like taken from a fantastic tale, and taking this photo needs observaiton, curiosity and experimentalism, or who would mind looking in there and think of it as a subject of photography? Therefore taking this shot deserves real appreciation, and therefore we are lucky to see one of the most original photos in TE.
Cheers and have a nice week :)
Deniz

This is more like a painting than a photo. A stunning piece of work that compels the eye into the depths of the forest.
