Girl waits

Reminds me of someone's landscape photos I saw earlier; could be a bit of HDR blending several exposures to get the range, plus a healthy dose of other PP. I like it.

I really am in awe of the photo - it's wonderful

thanks for sharing and i hope you don't stop sharing as you definitely have the knack

This is a fantastic shot! The only thing I don't like about it is your subject is a little dark. It looks like there is some clipping in her dress. I see her in the shot but my eyes are drawn to the leaves/windows. What an amazing location!

I have to agree about the subject being a bit dark. I wish her gown was a tad brighter so she would not blend into the shadows.

Your location is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

For some reason this picture isn't showing up for me? Is it just me??? Rally anxious to see this one!

Hello again! Just to answer a few questions, didnt really take very long at all to set up, when you find somewhere so beautiful, very little else is needed! Processing wise Ive not done as much as usual on this one, some levels, brightness and contrast, dodging and burning on separate levels to create something HDR ish

Thanks, and I'm sure it's much more complicated than you've let on, but we'll accept your creative secrecy.

This picture has a feel to it like the movie "The Crow" with Brandon Lee. http://www.imdb.com/ti​tle/tt0109506/

The building is actually a derelic asylum, an extremely spooky place, empty wards, operating theaters, ballrooms, endless hallways, churches....

I'm jealous - sounds great!

AWESOME shot. Nice work.

A powerful shot.

I look at some of the stuff I see on these forums and am amazed. Pictures like this are what made me want to buy a camera and try my hand at it. I like it!

Very Nice!
Is that Poison Oak? lol

Great pic, as it is. But as your title mentions, 'Girl waits', the subject gets lost out a bit amongst the shadows. You could have positioned her at the second window on the left.

Cheers, nontheless.

I'm with PiedPiper522.

After all the rave reviews, I gotta see it......

Thanks again for the lovely words, heres another link to the image on a different server:

The use of light, the direction of light might be better I think. Everything is well prepared but we always look for better. Your story and visual composition good.
