Such an odd shape this room seems to have to it. The process really brings out the grain, depth, and emptiness to the room.

Nice softness and control of the light.

I'm not usually a border police type person because I like putting borders on my images no matter how they're received. In this case, I'm actually advocating no border though. The reason is that I think there is something else going on in this shot. The light is over something and there's a conversation off to the left and perhaps one just below the light as well. The border doesn't remove my ability to think that, but diminishes it a bit. The border makes me think that the light is the focus of the image, not what the light might be shining on, outside of the image. But that's just my opinion. I'm very open to other interpretations as well.

Either way, a very compelling shot and a nice soft treatment.

VERY nice processing! I'm quite surprised that this was taken with the 100mm lens, though.

Too many days without water - things are getting weird.

I wouldn't worry about the halos - it is obviously not meant to be a realistic effect, so it might as well be an effective effect. I like it - it's sort of story book illustration and it makes me wonder what the story is.

I work on a reservation and this really told a story to me. I think a tighter crop might have benefitted it. I think I'd try cropping some of the right off and tease us more with the sunset.

I don't really see a whole lot of difference between the two, but I think I like the other one better anyway! LOL!
