Hello Helen,

This is the sort of shot that people argue over! Should it be lighter? I think maybe, just a little brighter but for me, Els' workshop has brightened it too much so it has lost its air of mystery! Going into a wood should be dark, should be intriguing, should have an air of mystery.

I like this sort of photograph which encourages the viewer to add an ending to something the photographer has begun.

I have done a little w/s which I hope you like but I would not be offended if you said it loses something that I intended to be threre!
Different monitors can make photographs significantly brighter or darker!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Good morning Helen, it is fun to get out with the new toy, isn't it. This looks like a lovely green area to visit, with the stream and bridge to walk over.
You have 2 interesting WS's. It's not always easy to shoot into a darker area especially with the light in the BG. I have no answers. Sometimes I will set the camera on AUTO to see what numbers it comes up with. And that doesn't always work either - but it's fun and frustrating trying...
Cheers, Janice

PS Still no news from here.

Hi Helen,
When opened the picture is attractive and paints a mood - however in the thumbnail it is much too dark.
So I have used my trusted and tried PhotoFiltre to make a gamma correction.
Hope you like.
Have a nice day (and tomorrow a holiday as well?)

Very good morning dear Helen.
Be careful when 'playing' with a Rebel, especially in the woods. haha
Nice composed picture, but it sounds a little bit dark. (Thats is even more dangeour to go to the woods)
Have to see the workshop, Els made. Think she switched the light on ?
Have an easy day.

There are certainly many ways we can modify an image to change the appearance and mood. Your original to me seems quiet and peaceful. And I like that. Well done.

TFS!

Nice capture. Good composition and details, but I find it a bit dark.
Still the dark gives it a more mysterious and dangerous look.
