the antlers


I thought I had already posted this snap of antlers on the wall at Château Chambord, but I remember now that it creeped out my wife so much that I didn't.  Well, it's January, and the pickin's are slim as they say where I grew up.

  1. Quite an impressive set!

    I can see the creepiness factor.

    1. That dramatic lighting really makes the shadow look sinister.

    1. I figured that this photo is not for everyone !

  3. I can see why!
    It makes a very interesting composition in the way the image changes from one animal to another (even though the other isn't an animal, at this size it could be considered one!)

    1. Yeah, the shadow is quite spider-like I think.

    1. Thanks. Without the shadow it would be a very different (and maybe less creepy) photo !

  5. It does look a bit creepy! But it's also a great shadow shot.

    1. Yes, the shadow is the dramatic part. And judging from the comments, most folks agree with my wife on this.

    1. It was certainly effective in creeping everyone out.
