This really is a Hansel and Gretel feel. HDR? I like it.

Looks kinda' creepy with the tangle of tree/roots in the foreground.

Interesing.

The roots from the tree are so ominous in this, I feel like the house is probably haunted.

Interesting shot of the house... looks like a fairy tale.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:13:15 PM
Cool shot. Looks almost like a painting. What program did you use for the tone mapping on the HDR? I'd seriously like to know. 8

Wicked! The house looks like it's screaming in terror.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:02:00 PM
This is really good I love it so well done 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:24:27 PM
Wow, a creepy little house and a creepy old tree. Wish it was more in focus, especially the foreground. Also wondering if/what post processing was done here. Some of the edges just look odd.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:41:34 PM
This looks almost unreal, but in a good way. I do wish it was a little sharper, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:08:29 PM
love it ,really like the twisted tree in front
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:39:25 AM
Feels very ominous. Nice low angle and textures.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:24:51 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:14:09 AM
It's like something from a fairy tale.....good processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:21:47 AM
The house is positioned in to central a position, the processing and details are nice though, 7

Nice PoV. The light makes this mysterious.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:21:51 PM
I could swear this is the house the witch lived in. Love the gnarled old roots in the foreground, and the fading light on the house.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:17:47 PM
interesting shot, is the sky really that color?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interpretation of Topic:Great Choice
Photography: Terrific
Viewers Reaction: I love this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:08:32 PM
Very intriguing photo. I'd be tempted to crop the left 1/4 off the photo--it seems like most of the interest is in the right 2/3. When I cover the left 1/4, it makes the gnarled roots seem even more alive.

I wasn't sure about the colors/over saturation, but the more I looked at it, the more fairy-tale it seemed. Nice job.

03/14/2009 12:00:55 PM
Looks foreboding!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:19:35 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hey, didn't there used to be a house of candy here? Hrm. I smell something fishy...

A beacon of normalcy in a nightmarish wood.

All the winding roots in this are really cool

Nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:52:00 PM
i understand you probably couldnt move the foreground trees they tend to draw me away from the house
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:43:28 PM
Really cool processing, I love the purple sky. The capture though is a little wild w/ the dark tree distracting from the lighter house (seemingly the main subject).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:33:45 PM
Love your processing on this, almost looks like a frame out of a movie.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:27:39 PM

this looks like it was stolen from a fairy tale
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:09:04 AM
The trees are very overgrown. The house looks surrounded.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:35:24 AM
I like the misterious mood of this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:12:01 PM
Looks like a house in a fairy tale. The tree is so twisted, very cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:53:28 PM
the foreground is distractingly soft but i love the overgrown feeling that the tree gives
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:58:48 PM
ok, I like this HDR...you haven't over balanced it...it compliments the photo..don't like it when colors are pushed to much and things just don't look real
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:37:25 PM
WOW, neat shot. Almost looks 3D with the fore & background in focus..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:43:17 PM

Love the spooky feel of the vines. Good tones and editing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:08:10 PM
a little over processed shot, and i would crop the bottom a little more. there is too much of the grass that takes away from the subject
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2009 09:47:53 PM
It looks like a scene out of a fairytale. Lovely work!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
