Description
"A foreigner from fielded landsWith prairie thoughts of desert sands
Who'd never seen a wood of oak,
He came to visit forest folk.
And in surprise he only sees
The mighty oaks and cypress knees,
Begged, "Someone will you help me please?
I cannot see the forest for the trees."
So I, a common forest folk,
Rustled in the leaves and spoke,
"Don't look into the wooden faces
Searching for the forest places;
Wander with the scented breeze,
Past mighty oaks and cypress knees,
Forget the timber your eye sees;
Our forest is the space between the trees." - Thomas James Allen

Curious title.. along with a curious picture.
The background is good..a nd of course the main object here is good as well. What made me favorite this picture in particular is the classic feeling I get.. the old mystery of movies from the early 1900s.
For me.. he is a ghost of the past... AMAZING!

This would make a great Jonnie Walker advert. Perhaps you could sell it to them and pay for your photography hobby for the next few years.

Magical and eerie, like a Tim Burton film. Great beams of light and really black shadows.

Great photo. I really like the way the light is coming through the trees. The man seems so out of place here and that's what really makes it great I think. Good choice for BW.

a fantastic creation in mood. the lighting, the action, the theme, and the photo as a whole just create an almost surrealist sense of mystery.

this is amazing...this is the type of photo i dream of taking...
the lighting is absolutely superb - on it's own, the landscape would have been incredible, but the figure added is just brilliant - his clothes, posture, everything about him, it's just so...wow...
brilliant...

When I look upon this image stories of ye olde forest folk, magical realms, and doorways light up by a magical light dance in my head. The model is dressed in a tux and top hat - a gentleman blueblood of fairie folk/sprites ready for a magical evening amoung kin, he skips a merry beat in his walk through the sunlight woods.
