I thought it was known as the "Golden Hour" HA! just kidding. The merging of two worlds, that time when the merging is in midst, is a magical time. You have done well with creating a scene that speaks of that time and I do have a sense of chaos as well.

Very nice. I think my favorite piece is the small inset in the lower left where we have that longer expanse of cobbles leading to the figures. I like that you have flipped one of those images, too - makes the most of the leading lines, I think.

I really love the processing you did on this one and the poem just adds to it.

Dark and spooky.. I like the overlays and processing very much, there is a definate atmosphere here. Im interested to know, did you have the verse in mind and created the image for the verse, or do you create the image and put a verse to it. Just wondering as I admire the foresight/imagination/creativity that goes into images like this. (something I seem to lack, but would love to possess)

The way the curtain is defined is what I like best in this shot. Great lighting in the top left corner, and also on the metal parts on the box. Strong and simple, and maybe worth simplyfying even further. The lighting quality in my view gets lost towards the bottom right where it looks like you had to dodge quite a bit to get more or less even light. You could do away with this, and I am also not sure if the wall adds enough to keep it.
