Thanks all for the helpfull comments. Sorry not answering sooner, and individually , but I am travelling far away from my home. I am very happy with my first participation. I did this shot for the miniature challenge, indeed, but I loose the submission time. Fortunately the floor lines made the image suitable for this challenge.

It's a very emotive photo, that makes a good use of vanishing point in an symbolic, abstract way. This photo has DEPTH, something a lot of challenge photos lack. 10


That was my first submission in this site. Thanks for your words.

I did an little mistake, not croping the area above. My son used the computer and changed the monitor calibration, and so it seem more dark than it really was. Thanks.

You are right. The image would be better without the light area above. Thanks.

Half expect her to get up and start walking. Tone and color are perfect for this unreal shot.

A small, lonely figure in a cavernous space; very effective.

I like the way the light illuminates only a small area and we're left wondering how large the space is and what else is in it. The little doll adds a surreal touch as does the rosey toning.

I thought the reflection of the flourestent light was a bit distracting. Does express a somewhat somber mood. I gave this a 4.

Different - I like it, like the coloring

Great lighting, I guess I would like it better if the doll was replaced by a live human, possibly child.

Excellent job creating an entire scene with the lighting setup.

there is just something about this that I like
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/12/2004 02:25:50 PM
There's some drama and mystery to this.

Very simple image but with really good use of lighting to create a mood and a distinct feeling of foreboding about what lies in the "vanishing point".
Good work....10

Great concept. Love the lighting effect

Nice solution to the challenge. Refreshing change and color
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/11/2004 04:44:07 PM
Might be better without the doll?....

Somehow it conveys sadness and waiting. Lovely picture. I like how the vanishing point is in darkness.

Cute idea. I like the composition and the use of sepia. Somewhat wistful feel to this.

Very well executed.

In art the vanishing point will draw the eye to the object, not away

Really strange but I like it. I wish you could have toned down the glare in the tile. You can certainly fix it later with the clone tool.
