Definitely creates a mood! Very interesting fog effects...it makes for nice backlighting for the trees as well. Nicely captured! #27131

Great shot!! Very moody with well thought out composition. If the title doesn't work for everyone, it could be seen as 'Re-Birth Experience' - a new beginning :) #27135

Hi birdie- You can title this whatever you wish, the photograph is wonderful. Great mood and composition. Though we have plenty of fog here on the coast of Maine, I have yet to get a decent photo of it. You make it look so easy. :) #27138

Awesome shot Birdie! You're right - it looks just like what people who have had near death experiences describe. It gives me shivers up and down my spine!

Thank you for your kind and interesting comments!

Ilana, I'm sorry, if I possibly hurt your feelings somehow. It was not intended to have a "thriller" title. This was just what came to my mind, when I saw the results of the photograph on my screen! The photograph was rather meant positive than morbid. I promise to post a special bright one for you tomorrow! OK?

Jeannie: Everybody has bright or less bright moods at times. Mine is usually a very positive one. I love life, nature and all beings. This photo is moody but definitely not a mirror of my soul. Else I would not go out on a day like that to take pictures. It was drizzling - not the best for camera electronics, even bigger drops were falling from the trees, very long exposure times and the wind was rather strong.

Thanks again!

Lovely shot!

Having had one of these experiences, I don't find this morbid at all, but rather reassuring in that this affirms that you will pass out of any darkness, no matter how gloomy it seems... #27225

"Baltica"....

ethereal...moody...beautiful...inviting

life is not measured by the number of breaths we take...but by the moments that take our breath away....

I had better get in on this critiquing and comments :O) I love it!!!! The title is fine too, and I too see it as reasurance of after life...light at the end of the tunnel....maybe a little scary being as we dont' know what is out there. But, this is an EXCELLENT shot no matter what one gets from it!! Fantastic birdie, you are awsome! #27290

Patricia A. Cale May 26, 2019

Beatiful shot! I think the title fits the photo perfectly! #27298

Carol Sherman May 26, 2019

Hi Wolfgang
I said "morbid" but I liked it anyway.
I love moody pictures and yours is just beautiful. #27381

Wolfgang Dolak May 26, 2019

A second and big thank you everybody for the long discussion and the time you invested. I'm glad that you liked the photo inspite of the scary title.

Ilana, a special thank you for your second response. As promised I have posted a photo dedicated to you!

Again thank you all for your kindness!
