It's just too dark, but good idea.

too dark to see what is there
07/12/2002 08:37:00 PM
is that the moon or a streetlight?

it's kind of dark. Can't really see anything. Doesn't really portray anything fearful to me.

The soft focus adds nicely to the ominous feeling.

I can tell this is supposed to be dark, but it is so dark I can't tell what the details are. The little spots of lights on the left look like little pairs of eyes, don't know if it was intentional or not.

im sorry but this is a little too blurry and dark to hold my interest. i like blur and darkness but only if there is some associated payoff. mag99

"It's too dark I can't tell." Thats just IMO, but I've looked at this picture on two different monitors and on both it's too dark to see anything, scarry or not.

Can't really make anything out. I'm not sure what I am looking at or what you are attempting to portray...

Attempting to create a sense of mystery? I don't see anything, and if there were something to see, it would be out of focus. Too dark for the camera. 3 Swash

I liked the idea, but the quality isn't that good.
07/09/2002 01:14:00 PM
... but unfortunately this photo is soo dark on my monitor that i really can't make anything out. i realize that this is likely your intent to make it more scary, but as a photo, it does not appeal to me at all, sorry. -- gr8photos (2)

Far too dark, can't see whats going on.
07/09/2002 10:59:00 AM
I bet you're hearing "too dark" a lot and are sick of it by now, so I'll resist the temptation. It definitely has a 'spooky' feeling to it, but I'm really not sure what I'm looking at. The dot in the center grabs my eye every time I look, but it's just a dot to me.
07/09/2002 06:47:00 AM
you should try to make the picture speak for itself and intersting too.
07/09/2002 06:30:00 AM
There's something out there...but I can't see what it is, cause everything's too dark. :-)
07/09/2002 12:07:00 AM
too abstract
07/08/2002 05:17:00 PM
Nice setting for the mood though not quite enough definition to establish a solid context.
07/08/2002 10:12:00 AM
A bit out of focus and the small lights are distracting.
07/08/2002 09:41:00 AM
Theres somthing out there but, I cant tell caus the pictures to blured and fuzzy.
07/08/2002 08:57:00 AM
...and if we could only SEE what it was....then maybe we would be scared...
07/08/2002 05:11:00 AM
I can appreciate why you'd want this photo to be dark... I think... but its hard to tell what I'm looking at.
07/08/2002 02:57:00 AM
I like the way the lights on the left look like eyes in the darkness. If this was photographed through a window looking outside, I would love to see a little more light on the window frame = 5 - jmsetzler
