The God Complex

I wasn't crazy about this shot at first, but I've come back to it a number of times now and it's grown on me. It was the motion blur that bothered me, but I've gotten past that now and have accepted the fact that it actually adds to the image. The sunset and everything else is stunning. Well done. (It may take me a while, but eventually I come around!) ;-)

Simple, pleasing subject matter, terrific tones & textures, great lines, good use of lighting... Okay - good shot. ;-)

What a totally bizzare and eerie image - especially after reading the location. The seemingly random "portals" and utter darkness surrounding them is really quite disturbing. Another powerful shot.

I think I like this version better than the other one. The negative image in the window really adds a lot IMHO (both subjectively and symbolically). Powerful image.

What an unusual flower/seed pod. And the mood you've established is very somber with all the dark tones and the stark nature & lighting of the subject. Very nice comp.

Very cool! Definitely may have to "borrow" this idea... ;-) I must say, you pulled it off quite well. How many takes? Great POV.

Spooky shot. The unreal color tones really add to the haunting image. Well seen & captured.

Great leading lines in this shot and I think it works very well in B/W. I probably would have bumped up the contrast a bit and done some dodging/burning (if it were advanced editing) - but then again I tend to overdo both of those things! LOL Great capture.

Great expressions and I love the tones. Almost looks like too much Neat Image (but not sure - can't decide whether I like the ultra smooth look here or not). Terrific crop/composition. You certainly have a gift for capturing a special moment.
