    Yes indeed.

    I have been loitering around dark alleyways again! Pleased with the way the light fell on the subject in this one.

    All comment/critique warmly welcomed as ever.

    Dear Sharon,

    I like the doorway. It frames the subject nicely.

    There is still some detail in the shadowed areas. I cannot tell if the inside walkway is actually burnt or I just cannot appreciate, in the smaller image version, the detail that may be left?

    This image has a lot of potential. It can either stand alone, or at some point, be a part of one of your multilayered creations.

    Thanks so much Marie.

    Not burnt, just shadow on some very uneven plasterwork which gives the texture

    Nicely done, very atmospheric and moody.

    A lot of different effects going on in that single pic. seems that it was a difficult challenge to get a good exposure. How did you meter it ?

    Raymond...am not that kind of photographer. I'm a total 'bimbo' when it comes to metering etc....I think i used spot metering but am not at all certain

    Am only interested in the Asthetic value at the end of the day.

    Very nice, see what a bit of skulking around in dark alleyways can reveal!

    Love it Sharon - the figure is an added point but the surroundings, the whole shot is full of many things that needs exploring further...different textures all the way from the front to the back...
