"Follow Me.."
Took this yesterday on my favourite train bridge. :)
(Trespassing once again.) I thought about staying in,
but decided to get some fresh air instead. It was 10 degrees..

Thanks everyone!
Hey Helen…I was on this train bridge 4 months pregnant (years ago)
and I kid you not…a train was coming-I was halfway across to Kentucky!
Me and a friend. We had to lay on the catwalk as the train roared by. Freaked me
out…heh. I’ve been attracted to it ever since. ;)
Michael Farruggia

Beatriz R. Ald...
Wow! Excellent shot and effect.

marcusjohn
Go…....d I always have to scrolled for ages .. I need mobile alerts..
So much to look at in this shot.. the treatment is amazing.
The perspective of the shot gives it a larger than viewer feel (does that make sense?, I know what I mean so that’s ok).
Love it, your experience, matches the image perfectly.. Dam your good at this stuff..;)
Wendy Slee
brilliant work…...
I can just see you on that bridge too…. (lol) reminds me of that scene in Stand By Me…....when the train is coming and they are crossing the bridge…..
but this makes it worth the effort…..

WOW !!!! A very stunning, dramatic, creepy image, Birgitta !! Sure glad you ventured out and ‘trespassed’ ! and captured this image. It would pass a the front cover to an Alfred Hitchcock book !!
botticcelli
fantastic shot..great mood..pic telling stories
Birgitta
Thanks y’all. :) So much!
Marcus, the perspective up there (& I was up pretty high over the River) wasalready very neat, but what I did, is changed the aspect ratio in the post work. I extended the height, stretched it a bit higher than it actually was to give it a film
look. Like the old spaghetti westerns do. It adds something extra sometimes that you can’t get in a simple filter, etc. It was pretty much already like this..but it gave it that extra “something” that I felt was missing from it. Thanks for checking it out…al of you guys. :)
Much appreciated!
Sean Farragher
well worth your time in the fresh air,,,awesome shot
Martie Venter
A sense of danger, of impending doom, black crows circling overhead – awesome atmospheric work, Birgitta – love it!

Stacey Hatton
You’re so good at editing! I still haven’t downloaded that program you suggested. I must try it. I love this, were the birds really there or did you add them?
lex7
To go out when it is ten degrees is dedication, but as always your dedication pulled off more than beautifully. This is stunning. In some ways it has an old Alfred Hitchcock sort of creepy what is lurking sort of feel. Yet when I look at it again it sort of holds a sad feel for me.. a lonely feeling, but not bad, just quite. The tones in this are gorgeous.. the composition is stunning and perfect. Great Great Great job.
ApeArt
cool shot
GerryMac
outstanding art!
Birgitta

it makes my heart ache
Bradley S. Har...
As I follow, I know not where,
Birds soar above my tasseled hair,
Fear wants to grip me deep down there,
Not sure why I’m feeling scared.
With a sky darkly brewing,
I feel something strangely pulling,
With each step I can feel it growing,
I’m gonna die without ever knowing.
The tones of black and gray are both scary and brooding against the lonely train tracks and upcoming trestle. I love the birds, possibly vultures lazily hanging in the sky floating on dark currents as they wait for what may. You have a dark side in you and lucky for us you have the ability to share it. Amazing
Davide Montell...
Stunning! I like it a lot!
ragman
