Into The Darkness

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"--
Merely this and nothing more.
Excerpt from "The Raven" By Edgar Allan Poe

I really like that you've tied this pic with Edgar Allan Poe. However, I think I would make the top edge of the wall parallel with the imaginary horizon.

In my view, the bright sunshine on the wall takes away from the foreboding nature of the dark entry way so the image does not fit the poem.

I disagree, but understand why you might feel that. If anything, I believe the light wall accentuates the contrast with the dark opening, increasing the foreboding. At least that was my intent, perhaps it does not work for all. Thanks for your thoughts Bertloomis.

I'm not going in there! Nice photo, the sun on the front of the wall shows how dark it is behind the wall.

Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I pondered, weak and weary
I thought about your black and white
And knew you got it exactly right

I thought about your black and white
And knew you got it exactly right

Incredible dynamic range. I too would tone down the wall a bit but regardless that’s wonderful. Nice work.
