Thank you so very much, Pam! Maybe perhaps you are reminded by one of Hitchcock's best movies, "Rear Window"? ;-)

I like this a lot, Val. It's so mysterious and intriguing. "What's out there? What was that noise? What's happening in my neighborhood?" (I have the music from Pappy's entry playing so it seems rather dramatic to me, like an old movie lol)

Very beautiful idea and very well done - it's not easy to take a shot of your own hand. I also like the light and the sepia tones!

Looks like you were checking the weather. Based on what I see in the picture, I had decided to stay in! I hate wet and partly melted and icy snow! =D

Valfal ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

Hahaha, exactly my thoughts! Although a lot of the snow has melted, there is still a whole lot of snow on the ground! thanks for the star, Sami :-))

For someone who said elsewhere they felt at times they were perhaps not as creative as they'd like to be, I have to disagree Val ... this is a masterpiece and quite haunting! :)

All sorts of questions arise from it: is there someone or something outside watching us, or is this the POV of the stalker watching it's prey from a distance ..... uuughhhh! ;)

Valfal ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

Wow, Paul, thank you so much for your very positive feedback; you are more than kind! Truth be told, I had no idea how many different interpretations this image would evoke; I must be on the right track, I guess ;-)
