Mansion ensemble and overcast park studies

[Christoph C. Feldhaim]

I took these images July last year.
I have planned to return there and take more images.
Unfortunately 2 films were lost due to a technical problem during development, so there is just few left, but it depicts what I am going to try when I return.
You can see these as "concept shots".

These are all very nice from a technical standpoint, but the last one rises to the level of art.

Christoph,

I see a celebratory essay taking shape here.  I envy you your location — it is quite a wonderful space.

It is true that the standout shot is the last you have presented.  It could stand alone without the essay as well as being a punctuation point.

Cheers,

the first one and the last one for me, I like them a lot, specially the last one.

Isn't that last one where Johnny froze to death?

I too strongly prefer the last one. The third one seems like it could benefit greatly from the camera being closer to the ground, so that there is more of a feel of the path leading on to somewhere (I am assuming use of a wide-angle lens). The second one needs more separation of subject from background, to me--either shallower DOF or a different relationship between the trees and the subject.

The last one is the best. Atget meets the maze from Harry Potter. Creepy and beautiful at the same time.

Guess Pop's the only one who saw "The Shining."

#4 is excellent, I love landscape abstracts and image 4 is right on the money for me, #3 is good, but #4 is as I have already said, excellent.

Thanks for the nice words everyone - I now feel encouraged to go on with that vision.
