You have not merely taken a photo. You have ensnared art in your net of visual excellence. Be sure to feed it and keep it in a warm and safe place.

Felicitaciones!

This photo shows the sense of horror that story of Poe's exrpesses...nice one! See you!


Max Pizzo   {K:3044} 10/26/2004
probably POE had in mind the same image and the same atmosphere :) great shot indeed


Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 10/26/2004
I am not going to sleep today :( ehehehehhe...

Bueatiful Thilo...

It seems as if it was painted with ink... The effect looks wonderful... The sky looks menancing... Defenetly a haunted house... I really.. really...really... really ... ... really Like it...

Great work my friend...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Love to read your stories in about.... :)


Kevin Collier   {K:19076} 10/26/2004
very nice - did you shhot with an IR filter? Again I really like the wide angle view and tilt of the building.Great tone and comp. K


Sergio Sánchez   {K:2350} 10/26/2004
It scares, I'm not sure I'd go in there after seeing this shot :)

Perfectly done, great atmosphere.

Sergio


Lukasz Kuczkowski   {K:14684} 10/26/2004
love the tones and "colors" of this shot; the sky is beautiful as well

Lucy Bernadette   {K:5785} 10/26/2004
i wish the plants and that guy were in front, but there's nothing you could've done about that. the tones are amazing and suit the feel that you're trying to get after. maybe a shot where you were looking almost 'straight' up perhaps, ie. you were lying on the ground closer to the front of the building? maybe...


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 10/26/2004
Now this is an angle!! Great perspective.. i love this one.. fantastic image! =)) 7++

schöne tales of mysteries and imaginations die du uns da erzählst mit deinen bildern, thilo. bei diesem hier will sich der beabsichtigte effekt bei mir nicht so ganz einstellen, vielleicht, weil ich das gebäude selbst kenne und ich es an sich nicht mit dem von dir genannten zweck verbindn kann. das bild an sich ist aber recht gut, vor allem die töung sagt mir zu....

vg, uwe


Verena Rentrop   {K:14426} 10/27/2004
House of Usher sagt mir was, aber die 'spooky' Stimmung wird für mich ein bißchen durch den Spaziergänger zerstört, schade eigentlich :(

denn die Tonung und IR gehen schon in diese Richtung...

Liebe Grüße
Verena


Maria José Barres   {K:11276} 10/27/2004
I like it very much...
The perspective deformation, the color and clear image...
very good work dear friend.
Greetings.

Hi Kev,

Hi Verena,

okay, ich gebe zu, dass diese opfer-story im about nicht so richtig zündet ;-)

wegretouschieren wäre ja nicht so das probleme gewesen...

LG,

Hi Uwe,

du warst da schon? das gilt nicht! =)

beim fotografieren hatte ich das auch gar noch nicht im sinn, erst beim 20sten mal anschauen fiel mir das ein.

dank fürs ehrliche feedback,
Thilo

Dear Maja,

thanks a lot for commenting on this picture. I have to admit that the color of your "rainy" picture never left my brain ;-)

Take care,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/28/2004
Hi Patrick,

thanks for the motivating words, my friend.

take care,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/28/2004
Dear Lucy,

first of all, thanks for the constructive critics here. appreciate that a lot.

Personally, I had some mixed feelings on the bushes/persons "issue". A different viewpoint alone wouldn't help with the 14mm (x 1.5 for D70). The only cure would be a analog shot.

Next time, I will keep the focus idea in mind. no useless crap around the subject ;-)

thanks a lot for the honest words. this keeps me getting better. hope I can do the same for you. =)

take care,
Thilo


T L   {K:18928} 10/28/2004
Really majestic and great. Excellent composition combined with yummy grey tones and clearity. The sky that goes from light to dark makes a brilliant background for the motive, and the person adds a nice human touch. Congrats.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185005} 10/28/2004
Hi Thilo, The three point perspective is very cool in this photo. A bit closely cropped below, but it does add a very ominous atmosphere. Original toning, although I'd think if a greyish brown tone would emphasise the atmosphere. The blue makes it a bit "friendly". Excellent lighting and sky.

Cheers,

Hugo


Maja Gligoric   {K:13402} 10/29/2004
Ha ha ha, I can see that ;)
Isn't it fabulous tone?
Cya my friend


Kees and Carolyn    {K:15193} 10/31/2004
Excellent image! Great angle and tones!

Pedro Libório   {K:53855} 10/31/2004

Omar Rifaat   {K:10135} 11/1/2004
Very nice capture; great perspective and tones. You have captured the sky really well too. You mamanged to turn an unusual building into a real interpretative piece of art!
Nice work,
Omar


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 11/4/2004
Dear Omar,

thanks a lot for the kind words.

take care,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 11/4/2004
Dear Maja,

the toning is just awesome ;-)

Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 11/4/2004
Hi Hugo,

you're right with the cropping here although it's more a limitation of the lens (or the inability to go some steps away) =)

thx for the analysis, will keep that in mind.

take care,
thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 11/4/2004
Dear Tiro,

thanks a lot for the constructive analysis.

take care,

Dear Pedro,

thanks a lot for sending me this link. It's really an honor that you think about my ideas ;-)

I remember the scene quite well.

take care my friend,
Thilo


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 11/22/2004
What a cool and so beautiful photo! This tilting is so weird, but I love it, it adds some kind of interesting dimension! And the colour tones look great! Cold, but with a sub feeling of mystical warmth. Super!
