I have re edited the photo to size and only used adjustment layers. I think the photo could do with some burning to bring out the clouds. What do you guys think?

1 By a route obscure and lonely,
1 Haunted by ill angels only,
1 Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
1 On a black throne reigns upright,
1 I have reached these lands but newly
1 From an ultimate dim Thule-
1 From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
1 Out of SPACE- out of TIME.
Dark moody and some JRR... in this image,
and a definate improvement on the original.
The tattered dark flag does go some way towards this stansa,
the question is does it encompas it all.
I,m still thinking ( which is very positive, as I would jump staight down on a no....) |

Another possibility, this is much closer to my original plan.

I wanted him to be aproaching the land from the water so I placed the tripod in the water for this take and prepared to grab it if a big wave came. You can't tell from the timed image that there were waves there.

Gurilla, I like both of your shots a lot. The 2nd one is a very good moody landscape and the first is a great take-off of the classic flag photo. I think I prefer the flag one as it portrays the "Land" in the poem as a kingdom with a tattered evil flag (kinda reminds me of lord of the rings), which fits well with the line "On a black throne reigns upright,". I do however think the crop on it is a little awkward, with too much space on the left and not enough room at the top.

Hey Bob
This one really fits with your part of the poem. I like everything about the photo. It's a keeper in my books. :-)

MMMMMMMmmmmmm I might try and reshoot this one....
Because I don't like the tight crop at the top. This flag is 5 minutes from my home but the funny thing is I have never seen it actually fly like that since its always tangled up.

| bob, i agree about the flag. i like the sunrise pic fine, but really, the flag pic gives me more of a sense of the dark hauntingness of your passage. :) |

Bob, I like both. Like Ben/Konador said the landscape is nice, but the flag is even better. Hope you can find it flying again with so nice clouds as well. The flag seems to suggest despair, oppression and over all bad times, but some (faint) remains of hope and fight. It fits better into the general tone on the poem, rather than your specific lines, where the fit is a bit of a stretch.
The landscape fits better, but is not (IMO) gloomy enough. Maybe darker clouds - you could try to do a Heiða on it and burn it a lot. It could also do with a figure in it, old guy with a stick for example.
