You stand at the threshold, do you take that step forward, or do you stay put?

Many meaningful images in this one for me.  Inspired by a story I am working out in my head.

Makes me think of Narnia, with the door and all. I don't know why, but it seems almost creepy beyond the door, despite the tree [emoticon]

I was actually going for creepy or unsettling, so I guess I achieved my goal. [emoticon] Thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment, they are appreciated.

nice work, I love the light coming through the door. Also a pic with a lot of story possibilities in it, it makes me think of hidden worlds, like Narnia [emoticon]

I love how soft and surreal this is. And great job on the vines and mountains. They look gorgeous.
