@Frank: thanks a lot! i'm very glad you like it.
@lasiate: it seems like many people got that feeling from it, that it's a passage to another world (i think that's what you said), but i was just trying to make it more dramatic. thanks for your comment and visit!
Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Beautiful warm glow ... great reflections and shadows ... very nice perspective. Your PP turned this one from an ordinary, rather flat shot into a great shot!

A corridor of fire-light... with a line of reflection on the floor.

@Oeilonirique: thanks. i was worried maybe i overdid the color.
HorseRotorVator from Newton, United States
Wow, great lighting. And it has a heavenly glow to it. I feel like I died and this is the lighted tunnel I am walking down. :)

@HorseRotorVator: yeah, i guess it does sort of give that feeling... but the reflections of the red on the walls helps too ;)

Melissa from Warsaw, Indiana, United States
The lighting and orange glow are insane! (in a very good way) :) I love the placement of the chair and I especially love the shadows on the ceiling and the reflection of the light on the floor. It makes you wonder what's on the other side of the door. This image kinda gives me goosebumps...it's a little creepy and foreboding.

@Melissa: thanks a lot for your kind comment, Melissa! actually, on the other side of the door is one of those other stairwells that were referred to as better to use during an earthquake in my post two days ago. :)

I love this one! The colors and softness are magnificent!

@pixeltoko: thanks a lot! to be honest, i wasn't originally going for the softness, but it sort of happened and i decided to go with it.
@Michael: thanks! and thanks for your comments!

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
I like this shot. It has a neat glow. How was it processed?
4 Mar 2008 11:20pm
@Twelvebit: thanks. Most of the glow was there to begin with. Basically, I upped the shadows in the 'tuning' section in Picasa, then in photoshop I used part of the technique in this tutorial that was on the aminus3 news page a long time ago. Specifically, i sharpened, created a gaussian blur layer at lowered percentage opacity with it's layer property changed from "Normal" to "Multiply", created a layer mask ('reveal all') and cut through the main part of the hallway so that the outside and the chair and its shadow were darker, then I added a vignette to focus the eye towards the center.
