Drowning Shadows

A bit different from my usual, I think. A submerged log in Shadow Lake enjoying mid morning light. Does it work?

I'm just stopping by this forum, but I'll comment on this. I think it works if your goal is to seriously creep me out. Otherwise, you would probably have to pitch it to the right crowd.

Thanks Kent - that was pretty much the idea glad it has the desired effect.. who would hang this in their living room, I do not know, but hey, I thought it'd be fun to branch out into the darkness!

I think most photos have their own crowd to please. I like the cool blue duotone here or maybe it's my imagination. I also like how the one branch helps you exit the scene after looking at for a while. Nice shot.

I like this a lot! Very cool and unique! A bit dark and eerie, but it is supposed to be. Very well done, Floris!!

Just fooling around in other regions...and I agree...very Blair Witch. Love the title.

It doesn't creep me out. It has a quiet mystery to it that I like.

I think you are successful in what you attempted. works for me but somehow I feel that you could selectively brighten by the branches along the edge of the frame. that way, the eye movement would have been better, maybe...

Very unique, Floris. It sure holds a very somber mood to this scene IMO.

Unusually interesting. It certainly will make the viewer ask questions and wonder, and that is as success in itself.

A haunting image, yet still quite beautiful. The pockets of light and shadow work very well here to lend a sense of mystery. Nice to see something a bit different and well executed.
