This is just lovely - visualization, composition, perspective effects, contrast, all really well managed.

This is lovely but I can confirm the real print is even better! I love the progression of tones and the contrast between the solidity of the gate the the ethereal branches. Wonderful!

This is excellent, Mike. The dark solidity of the wall and gate gives a sense of foreboding, even though you can see beyond. I really like it.

I really like the spooky feel it has.

My first impression was "lovely" shot and then first two comments used same word. I really like the dark date and foggy woods beyond. Well done.

I don't know if 'Kapow' features in balanced Art criticism, but Kapow!
This is well seen, well composed and perfectly executed.
It reminds me strongly of Atget's misty pictures, which are extraordinarily atmospheric and delicate. Very fine work indeed.
