Artist's Comments

Remember that part of Wizard of Oz where the whole movie has been in black and white; then after the house if picked up by the tornado and taken into Oz Dorothy opens up the door and everything is bright and colorful. That scene always had a profound impact on me for some reason. Because I can't do it in a video; taking a photo to try and capture the same feeling is as close as I can get. Hope you enjoy!

I love a good HDR image, but sometimes they can be so over done. This one is one of those.

The sky just looks way too dark for the beautiful sunlight streaming in from the right. And while the colors are over saturated, they do have a gorgeous tone and glow. I personally would just lessen that glow just a tad.

The image itself is a gorgeous one. The trees are framing it beautifully. And I do love the contrast between the limbs on the trees and the sky, the sky just needs to be a bit lighter.

All in all, it's a gorgeous photo, and has such great potential. Just try not to overdo the HDR. :D

Haha, amen to that Mike... I have a habit of desaturating most of my images; because I also like that darker look; but I like to try and get something mroe bright and colorful for a change every now and again. :D Cheers!

Wow. For some reason, when I say this, it gave me hope. Like, it showed me another world...a world that few can live in and even fewer can stay in. It is like the brightness and joy I got from it lifted my spirits in a way. :) I loved it. I like dark things to. It is just nice to see "hopeful" things every once in awhile.
