Toad Hollow Photography - Wow, Scott, wow. Wow. Did I mention wow yet? AMAZING, my friend! What a totally brooding and emotional piece you’ve created here! Love the subtle blur in the foreground elements there, you truly bring the viewers eye right to the ghost there!

Dave DiCello - This is outstanding Scott. The processing is perfect, not overally great, has a true urbex feel to it. But then again, you are the master!

Edith Levy - Fabulous shot Scott. Your right I do like the angle and the view outside the broken window really adds to the shot. I love the textures as well.

October 20, 2011 - 1:15 pm

Curt Fleenor - Wonderful textures and subtle changes in lighting. The one small window does add an interesting aspect to the wall of glass. I don’t use Nil but I am a firm believer in PhotoTools, it makes a world of difference in my work.

October 20, 2011 - 1:35 pm

A.Barlow - You always seem to find the most dusty, run down locations to shoot. I’m amazed sir. Nice job.

October 20, 2011 - 1:44 pm

LensScaper - You’ve really captured the character of this corridor. Your thinking about POV was spot on – the view out to another building adds an extra dimension and is perfectly placed in the frame. I’ve never tried HDR (yet!), but it is images like this that persuade me that certain images take a quantum leap when the technique is applied.
