Une ambiance à se coller devant la cheminée. L'accentuation de l'effet brume/brouillard léger en fait un cliché rêveur.
Bonne Journée Florence.

I meant to say Sharon and was already away somewhere else. Time to go to sleep I guess.
Cheers.

I really enjoy this Orton effect, though I lack the words to describe what is does to the work...the closest I can come is that it softens the image....in any case this is a BEAUTIFUL dark moody black and white with those marvelous softened edges, too. I love it.

Joli rendu. Ce léger trouble me plaît beaucoup ! Bonne journée.

A very beautiful, serene and moody scene...the composition is perfect with the tree and sky dwarfing the humble abode....and the processing is of course, brilliant! Care to share how you achieve the overall softness?
23 Oct 2009 5:54am
Soft and mystical I love the processing you have applied here. Also a great composition.
23 Oct 2009 6:15am
I love your soft mood here.... it's like a mystery house, you made it look like it can appear in a horror movie. =] excellent!
23 Oct 2009 6:54am
What a magnificent shot. I love the mystical atmosphere!
23 Oct 2009 7:47am

Le noir menace, le noir gagne...Inquiétude dans la demeure...
Bonne journée lumineuse!

The 2 windows catch my eyes like 2 eyes but one above the other and not beside, very dark and yet smoothy mood, there is more room in front of the house than behind and i read Hope here. Like the trees' "hair" ~
23 Oct 2009 9:30am
Fantastic poetic processing. I like very much this mysterious atmosphere.
23 Oct 2009 9:34am
Very very nice. Love the mood of the picture.

23 Oct 2009 11:57am
Hi Sharon,
Awesome B&W landscape
Love the contrast between that oniric touch and the worrying mood.
Great great and...great ;o)
23 Oct 2009 12:07pm
I swear I had a nightmare about this place before. Very moody and strong. Excellent, as always!

House, trees and clouds are in a soft tone... Like a dream...
23 Oct 2009 12:49pm
Evocative, in so many ways, Sharon.
Beautifully rendered.
23 Oct 2009 1:39pm
Somehow, suppressing the detail enhances the feelings . . I guess it leaves more room for the imagination to run loose. Strong image.
23 Oct 2009 1:54pm
Superb. Marvelous tones. Wonderful softness. Lovely mood.
23 Oct 2009 2:30pm
Great atmosphere, amazing soft treatment! Excellent picture!!!

Une composition remarquable!!

23 Oct 2009 7:54pm
This is a depressing shot, I have to be honest, but in a Halloween/hunted house sort of way :) L.A. receives this type of low overcast clouds a lot during Fall and late Spring, which renders all things depressing and mildly spooky.
23 Oct 2009 11:23pm
@Howard F.: Excellent! Thank you Howard, that is exactly what I wanted to achieve :)
I came back to see this picture three times today! I love this image. I guess growing up in the South I am exposed to old homes in settings just like this. Something about this one seems peaceful, and not haunting. It is really a very touching image.
24 Oct 2009 4:14am
You have such an amazing touch. I love the softness of the b+w.
24 Oct 2009 4:29am
A kind of mysterious feeling with that little blur. Very nice.
24 Oct 2009 4:46am
i like the dreamy feel :) feels like a fairytale. nice BW!
24 Oct 2009 5:20am
An atmosphere thriller where imagination can go far ... I love!
24 Oct 2009 6:57am
What a beautiful looking house and the post processing ads even more romance to this photo, great photo!
24 Oct 2009 8:59am
I love the mood of this photo. Something like the movie "The Others"...
24 Oct 2009 10:30am
Magnificent and mysterious atmosphere... I like the little blurry effect.
24 Oct 2009 11:01am
So soft. It's charming and mysterious at the same time.
24 Oct 2009 2:35pm
As always, beautiful and inspirational. You always wow us.
24 Oct 2009 4:13pm
