Hide and Seek and Love

Another stunner Deb!

Oh this is gorgeous, you take amazing photos… :)

Love the treatment Deb and the stripey shirt. Gorgeous composition and contrast too. My son loves this game at the moment although he is not very good at hiding.

Beautiful work Deb, I love the graphic nature of your B&W’s! :D

Just a wonderful image.. inside

Lovely image Deborah!! I remember trees like this when I was lad, I was up them rather then in them but it sure does brings back the memories.

This sort of image is definately your forte Deb… you obviously love these creative b&w’s and DAMN GIRL!!! You do them so well!!!!

Great idea, wonderful result, the children world is so amaizing!

very beautiful! your b&w always come out amazing

WONDERFUL!

I thought I was getting in early on this one and i’m already at least 11th on the list!

Brilliant capture Deb – Such a fantastic idea for a shot and, as usual, superbly executed.

LOVE THIS ONE….you’re right about hide and seek….great game!!! LOVE IT =-)

The sabateur effect that you have created outside the tree works so stunningly in contrast with the child! Children and trees complement each other so well, fantastic work Deborah, well done!

Wonderful shot Deb :o)

lovely and brilliantly done in black and white.

agree about the game ! :-)

I just love her clothes, and the tree and the entire image, and she is adorable…lovely work again Deb.

Art deco, portraiture, expression to melt the heart, and something new and original within that classic Parkinson. Who can do this?

Awwwh that is so beautiful ! what a lovely shot well done.!

Wonderful !!!

where do you find these magical places?..beautiful shot yet again Deb

Gorgeous! You are right – kids are the same everywhere. Lovely capture and the B&W suits it well.

Great capture and concept Deb – the lining of the trees brings about a reality/fantasy concept again (It would be interesting if you could have the leaves+- far background in a slightly/desaturated colour to contrast with the detail in the central and very cute subject and the tree). Very nice series developing.

This has to be one of my favourites from your shots. I just love it!! WOW WOW WOW. Its the tree, and the little girl…the contrast, the water…and her expression…i love it. Gorgeous!!!

This is adorable. Brings back childhood memories. Beautiful work!

Beautifully worked Deborah !!

wonderful work deborah parkin

another one that oozes charm – and I love how you’ve treated this, can’t figure out what you’ve done, and it’s got me intrigued!!

Wow! Too good for words! You are amazing, Deb =)

It’s all been said-like the way the sharpness stands out on the leaves…......

Fantastic work, Great composition and lovely B&W work. Well done.

The light on the clothes is great ,love all about it ,fantastic.

Beautiful work again Deb!

superb image – lovely lighting, shadows et al

GREART

excellent. yes, it takes me right back to my childhood thinking about playing hide and seek. awesome tree with very nice contrast in the b/w. the little girl’s stripes really pop out. good PP treatment too.

Nice shot Deb. Love the peek-a-boo of your daughter? in the tree. The background reminds me of the Siouxi and the Banshees video to “Dear Prudence” very atmospheric.

Very cute black and white…has a retro feel to it…

Fantastic shot! Love it!

so very cute! :) beautiful image.

I am going to ask RedBubble if they can build in an auto-fav function for your work in my Bubble. This is going to lead to a severe case of RSI. As I said earlier, I think you are a great illusionist. Every illusionist act consists of three parts: The promise, The change and The prestige. Yes, I saw the movie. So does yours:

-The promise: a young girl hiding in a tree.
-The change: wait a minute, this is not just a girl hiding in a tree. It is much more. Look at the light on the tree and the light on the horizon. Look at the leaves on the foreground. This is a vision.
-The prestige: it is me hiding in the tree, and my neighbour and every child ever born on this world.

Love your line of thought. It is a way of looking at life that is repeated again and again by the Daila Lama too.

Another awesome shot!!! I love the B&W with this.

Stunning work as always

great work super image well done.

STUNNING

I love a shot that tells a story, and this one does! It is a wonderful capture of a childhood game that brings a smile to my face.
Thank you, Deborah!

Gorgeous shot. Her face is exactly how mine would have been playing Hide and Seek as a child. “Is someone coming?” “Where are they?” “I’ve found such a good spot!”

When ever there’s a stunning shot on here you have to scroll down a long way to add your comment so I’ve decided to coin that as a new phrase for anything that’s cool on the site.

This pic is ‘scroller’ – nice one

Stunning as always love hw you are capturing those fun things we did as children, like walking over the troll bridge in one of your other photos

I love this photo, It’s very captivating.

A beautiful shot. Great B/W work and composition!

Beautiful composition, love it in B & W! wonderful tones, detail and the child is amazing.

Fantastic image, Deborah. You’ve managed to bring the world of fantasy and reality together. The treatment you have used is superb. Wonderful, yet again.

Lovely

This is so wonderfully classic. I love the tonal range and the contrast, and I also love her outfit too. :)

Great shot! (How can one get so many comments in such a short period of time?!! ;)

Great tree.. I love this composition, well done as always

beautiful bnw shot,welldone

Cool shot Deb, the graphic, edgy feel to this in B&W is great.

Magnificent. Looks like you’re in a world far away.

Just goegeous. Love this shot

I just love this one Deb…the contrast between nature and the bold stripes in Fleurs top is striking! Also, the lighting is perfect, well done again!

Beautiful, great composition Deb – very Fairytale!

Perfect!!!

Oh yeah, we used to love hiding in the big trees too! Lovely memories here, Deborah!

An evocative and beautiful image,Deborah.

OMG – this is FANTASTIC!!! how did i miss this one??? (must be all the holidays i am taking lately)... this would have to be fav. so far – and that’s a big call, ‘cause they are all sooooo good! beautiful deb, just beautiful!!!

Brilliant as always and really love the concept of your little girl inside that tree, it looks great!

Great capture and composition Deb. Very beauiful work!

lovely simply lovely

I love it…well done :)

wonderful image and mood here

Just awesome Deborah. Absolutely brilliant

Awesome image! Stunning tones, textures and lighting; and the child brings it all into perspective.

this is superb!!!

Great piccy Deborah :-)

Another great shot from the Parkin family tree.!!

beautiful

What cool tree and excellent photo!

Wonderful , just wonderful!

Oh, that is just the kind of place where I would like to be, =) If I could I would buy almost all of your photos because they make me feel glad.

Oh, this is gorgeous! The textures, tones, and lighting. Wow! Magnificent. So artistic!

If you had done this as a straight shot it would have been a girl hiding in a cool tree. With your processing, it goes further and it’s now about all of us dreaming back to when we were hiding in trees and playing games. Again, you have the knack for putting us there, deep in thought, and relating to our own experiences. You rock big!

BEAUTIFUL SHOT. YOU CAN SEE EVERY DETAIL OF THE TREE. NICELY COMPOSED. AMAZING!!!

what a lovely shot- well done!

so cool…I remember doing this as a child was sort of scary the thought of spiders but tried not to think about it too much…gorgeous…all of your work!

extremely cute

Beautifully worked!

Love the juxtaposition of the naive human child and the ancient noble tree, mix of current and other ages
