Before The Dawn
Watch a Video (AMV – Advent Children) here 
Meet me after dark again and I’ll hold you
I want nothing more than to see you there
And maybe tonight, we’ll fly so far away
We’ll be lost before the dawn
If only night could hold you where I can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we’ll fly so far away
We’ll be lost before the dawn
Somehow I know that we can’t wake again from this dream
it’s not real, but it’s ours
Maybe tonight, we’ll fly so far away
We’ll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight, we’ll fly so far away
We’ll be lost before the dawn

Gorgeous Craig was the lens flair all real or has some been added in post ? (and please don’t take that as a negative comment). I’m just interested. I love how the hill side softens toward the far right and left hand sides.

Thanks Craig … and no offense taken mate :) :) The original photo has been stripped of all colour and the wonderful purple hues added, then a nice big blur and unshapen mask applied around the tree and finally the Flare effect added on top of the setting Sun on the horizon :)

It’s a beautiful purple sky and the lens flair is really x-tra pretty .The sun and the flairs are all pointing at the tree and it makes it seem so balanced :]
evilpigeon, about 1 year ago
this photo is amazing. so lonely, yet you appreciate the whole photo as the diagonal line that the flares create pull your eyes through the photo. love the placement and framing of the tree.
