About SOME THINGS ARE DARK

Some things are dark--or think they are.
But, in comparison to me,
All things are light enough to see
In any place, at any hour.

For I am Nightmare: where I fly,
Terror and rain stand in the sky
So thick, you could not tell them from
That blackness out of which you come.

So much for "where I fly": but when
I strike, and clutch in claw the brain--
Erebus, to such brain, will seem
The thin blue dusk of pleasant dream.

Edna St.Vincent Millay

Shirley,,,love the idea and concept but the face needs a better blend to the dark surround if you know what I mean, it looks cut and paste, maybe burn in some shadow .


Shirley D. Cross   {K:140542} 6/16/2007
Thank you for your honest critique, Dave. Actually, I tried adding some shadows, and in the long run, decided I liked the paleness of her face better. I tried several other things, too. Making her eyes red, and her mouth frown, but always came back to this version. Feel free to mess with it, if you think you can do something. I'd like to see it.:) Thanks again.

Dave Arnold   {K:55551} 6/16/2007
Hmmm... I think I much prefer the light version, though I do like the way the face stands out of the photograph. Nicely highlighted.

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55371} 6/24/2007
Dear Shirley
This is haunting and poetic at the same time. Striking image.
Thank you so much for all your kind comments and for adding me as your photofriend:-) I´m very honoured because I´ve admirered your photowork since I joined UF about a year ago. You make so poetic, romantic and expressive fairy talephotos that appeal very much to me.
I´m sorry for not responding earlier, but yesterday I was at a vikingmarket and later on celebrating midsummer by the sea until midnight.
Take care
Annemette


Shirley D. Cross   {K:140542} 6/24/2007
Thank you so very much, dear Annemette...so glad you like this!:)

You're welcome for the comments, and I understand when you are busy, as we all can be at times.:)
