Good title change. Addition of the light source makes sense with the shadow now.

Lighting is very well done as is the shadow work
Idea has potential, but CMYK46 is right that the upper-left orange-sky light doesn't match the constrained, white right-side light creating the shadow. Furthermore, a "pathway of darkness" that leads to a dramatic sunset is not particularly foreboding.
Author very nice work on that street light.. Alan 2641 is right, the lighting and shadow are very well done. Great effect with the bugs to the light, I like how you did that. Your title seems appropriate, I see nothing hinting at foreboding in it .
Adding the streetlight gives more sense to the lighting (although it might be counter to the notion of 'pathway to darkness'). The bug trails in the light (if that's what that 'bird's nest' is meant to be) seem to be excessive, especially when the longer photo exposure they imply seems slightly inconsistent with the crispness of the moving guy. Visible stars seem unrealistic shining through the sunset, made more so by the lack of stars appearing in the dark upper-right corner.
yupz,......agree with Ichappell and Alan,......this kind of photo manips I like the most, very moody and moreover the lightning is very cool
Wow, Dan... your comments sting...I sure am glad you only have 100 vp then
Well I think its a brilliant concept sweetheART the old man walking towards his sunset years - lighting's fine enhances his lonely journey - fave ;} happy hippy hugglez
Author, there are a couple of pompous asses on this site, who seem to ALWAYS intentionally give negative feedback, hoping to influence the voters. They must have been raised by wolves, because they have absolutely no couth whatsoever. One of you pounces on newly uploaded work like stink on sh**! You two know who you are, and a lot of us wish you'd either mend your ways or go find another sandbox to play in, in fact why don't you start your own?! Some of us try to learn here, and your remarks do nothing to assist in that direction. The work that you two post is nothing fantastic by any means, either, so who are you to criticise others' work the way you do?
I find this chop very nice. The stars in the sky are REAL, it's a photograph. The 'paths' of the lightningbugs are also REAL, that also is a photograph. The shadow cast by the light is done well, and looks realistic. The blending of the sky and lamp I think is also done well. Keep up the good work, author.
And by the way, you two - comments CAN be edited, in case you didn't know - especially if you see that the author has made changes after first uploading.
well, just my two cents... the insects around the light are a bit too many, imo. the light is too high to cast the shadow as is. that is just math. but... the chop is wonderful! i like the mood and the composition. on a side note, i usually find that their observations are accurate and they have a great technical knowledge. and... any comment is much better than none at all... just my opinion.
good luck, i think you have a sound entry, it could be better, as could most, but it is really very good - smiles!
Haha , well, I am deeply "sorry" if I have offended anyone by creating this image, but I myself find that their comments are NOT accurate according to their own images.
Oh, also, thank you CMYK, at least you changed your comment.
There ya go, KY, see, I knew you could do it!
I like this one! Very moody. But I feel sadness instead of darkness (but thinking well it's all the same...). I agree with lvstealth that if you reduce the insects flying around the lamp it would be better, IMO. And you know you have talent, don't worry!
Stars are real, bugs are real, all resulting in a very pleasing image...
Very well done author
