Light amongst the Darkness

Oh wow…..................I love this!!!

Now this is spooky! Great job with atmosphere

Striking image Deborah! Such a thought provoking piece of work!

perfect dark composition
so dreamy
I am a big fan of your work

Nice one Deb…. I love it

Wow Deborah this is really cool.
What amazing lighting.
I love this. It is so Unique
Almost like he is walking to the light trying to find his way.

Dream-like, wonderful lighting, beautiful treatment.

You create the most fantastic images Deborah.Great photo as ever

Oh Deborah.. this is a big time winner.. I am going to close my eyes and walk threw these fields.. Great work..

Surreal to say the least.
I have something for Mr. Abe.
;-) (coming soon..)

Thanks everyone for such a wonderful response – took me by surprise – and oooh Birgitta you have me intrigued :0)

This is magic stuff – so beautifully ambiguous (and so striking)

Strong image. ‘Light going through darkness becomes more light’, I once read. Think it is true. It is the theme of catharsis. Makes us stronger in the things we believe in. I think you depicted this theme very good. The darkness is so emotive. And the waving reed is beautiful and also gives a sense of lonelyness. I can almost see it moving and I hear the sound of the wind playing with the reed. The way you depicted the light is very subtle, strong and convincing. Yes, lets go for the light within.

I also looked at all your new work. Boy can I see that you are driven by great creative forces at the moment. Love to see how you are improvising on the many layers of your theme. Like a jazz musician rising above the matter and creating new compositions. Graffiti is pure power and jazz! Love it.

Wow Deb, this is absolutely fabulous!!!

Wow !That light is so special ,dark and beautiful.

Wow !That light is so special ,dark and beautiful.

Deb, this is an incredible image! This is a 100%, dyed-in-the-wool fine-art photograph. Fantastic handling of the light and the details around the person’s head. This really is an incredibly brilliant and imaginitive composition. Well seen, captured, and superb post-processing. One of the best I’ve seen! Cheers! Chris

Great work, Deb! I love the light coming through the hair and the moving grass.

love this deb…......great ps work.

This is beautiful and mysterious. And I am a big fan of your work too.

It is very effective work Deborah! Yet it is very discernable, exellent work!

Wow… such a dramatic and energetic, yet dark shot. I love how you process your images debs. You’re quite unique here on RB. Well done

stunner, beautiful. like a painting or pen ‘n ink. great movement. love the title. could use a little light, m’self. fine work, congratulations, done it again, time for a show somewhere, methinks?

^WOW Stunning indeed Deb!

very powerful
haunting and dramatic.

Masterpice i love your unique stile

Very impressive !

Light is excellent

What wonderful atmosphere… Love the slight motion feel to it, like the grasses are swaying in the wind… And of course the darkness and contrast are just perfect. Beautifully done.

this is just breathtaking. stunning work.

I always look forward to seeing the next masterpiece Deb. You should be really happy with this one its great. It could be a mixed media piece, etching scratchboard, drawing, watercolour wash, I love it.

Wow! Deb, this is awesome! You’ve taken your processing that little step further once again.. brilliant stuff! I love the soft contrasts in the grasses and then to contast that, you have the strong contrast in light on Abes head.. how many more times can I say contrast? But you do it so well! Great job in acheiving something so soft for something so dark..

Great image Deborah.
I like it !

I like it. Very dark and eerie.

Love the barely there feel of this!

I have morphed out of b/w before seeing this Deb LOL! Thanks for the mention. Yes, very powerful, lots of nice dark black tones. The title’s fantastic too. There is always some light somewhere

This is stunning! Love the shadow and the light in front, looks so eerie but ethereal. Beautiful work,

this is so sensational – just captures your attention instantly! love how you’ve handled this image – extra special work deborah!

this is fantastic! gorgeous light!

Deb I just love the way you use your locations to enhance emotion in your images. Every time you place one of your models (gorgeous kids!), you manage to convey such a strong connection between them and their surrounds. It’s awesome how you do that..and this is a perfect example. Brilliant!

I love the graphic quality of this Deb, it reminds me of a still from the 1970’s Australian movie Storm Boy (which I love). Great work, as always!!

Absolutely beautiful! Superb use of light.

Excellent composition! Love the darkness and lighting… paul

Very moving image Deb especially with the thought of finding your way out of the dark into the light. Having been in the dark recently it brings me to tears but in a good way!

Amazingly strong.A moment of power to me.

full of mood this is lovely

Your work is haunting and beautiful.

glorious shot, the light and tones are just perfect

favourite…love the emotion

saw this in your book tonight & it looked great – Deborah’s book is beautiful full of moving thoughtful images, – excellent work

terrific glad i found your site

Love your work but this one stood out for some reason. I think you’ve caught a special moment in time.
Just had my first child and taken up photography. You are inspiration.

Fantastic Silhouette, love the subtle movement captured. It has a very moody feel emotional, reminds me of being a young boy and wanting to run away from it all, great Low light image.

oh I just died. love it.

well I like it
