Very cool shot, very eerie. Looks like a scene out of The Grudge.

Fantastic photo Craig, the processing adds a real mystique like something out of a C. S. Lewis novel. Excellent work!

I like this postprocessing... can you tell us something about it?

@alberto: Thanks. Naturally, I use Photoshop and ... a very high-quality plug-in NIK Color Efex Pro 2.0. I usually make contrast and color adjustments first to all photos. With this image I next applied a paper tone filter. I followed up with a midnight sepia filter w/adjustments to the brightness control. I then dodged and burned certain parts of the image and de-saturated it slightly. Lastly, I sharpened it to my liking. Hope this helps. Craig

Great processing, and this mood is just horrifying (in a good way). Mysterious and an excellent photo.

we've been praying for snow in Italy this winter and all we get is kids killing cops at soccer matches. not fair. the postprocessing, as always on this page, is meraviglioso (wonderful,breathtaking). as soon as it snows i'll be out trying to capture natures contrasting beauty.thanks for sharing your work with us, Craig.

Hey Craig. IT's good to catch up on the images ive missed while Ive been away (crazy schedule). Thanks again for the comments my friend. Youve continued to produce insanely good stuff. This is most poetic image. I echo Chris's comments regarding C.S. Lewis! Check your wardrobe mate, who knows where it leads!
