    I really like this picture, I wanted to ask you for permission to use it as a background for a “poem” I wrote. Of course I would like to put a caption on the picture showing courtesy of you and whatever name you would like me to put. Very good photograpy by the way. I love “forest” photos for some reason and yours are very unique.

    i’d like to use a small cross section of the picture as the background for a banner ad for a game i play. it would be one of many and likely not used, but i’d feel better as a fellow photographer if i knew it was cool. :)

  41. Ammi Liron Says:

    Great images, I would like to use them in a Torah Study I am working on for a Jewish youth group called T’nuat Noar Tsippor.

  42. Luna Says:

    Really nice, moody pictues. Can I use the first one as the background for a photoshop coloring job on a picture I drew? It’s a character demon whos’ power is nature, and I think your dark grey, misty forest scene would suit it nicely. I’ll give you credit, of course.

  43. Romit Rego Says:

    Hey Buddy, great pictures! They’re really good…i was looking for pictures like these for my project in school. Would it be okay if I used them? I’d really appreciate the help.

  44. Stephen Reed Says:

    Those are very nice pictures.

    I was looking for a nice forest scene for my “moongate” image I’m working on for my deviantART page. I’m a big fan of the Ultima series, and I haven’t seen many moongate drawings yet, so I decided to make one myself. The top forest picture would make an excellent background for the image, so I want to ask you for permission to use your top forest picture in my moongate image.

    I won’t sell any prints of the image using this picture, and I will credit you on my deviantART image page. This also serves to help me practice my photoshop skills, as I’m an amateur computer graphics artist currently attending college.

    Send me a response as soon as you can.

  45. XSurvival Says:

    The first image show has been chosen for use in the XSurvival banner. If you have any complaints please email info@xsurvival.org.uk

  46. Ruud Says:

    XSurvival, you bet I have a complaint. You can’t just go about using other people’s work and telling them it’s been chosen for a company website. If you wanted to use my work, you should have asked first. As it is, I have to ask you to remove my work from your site.

  47. Kasia Says:

    Those pictures are beautiful, I was looking for something like that. I’d like to ask if it is possible to use your photo on my blog as a background? Of course, I’ll credit you.
    Thanks in advance!

    Kasia

  48. Katie Says:

  49. Steve Appel Says:

    Dear Rudd

    Such an atmospheric foggy forest shot!. Is there a possiblilty I could use the top one as a background for my folk band King Curly. with credit of course – and perhaps you’d like to get a copy of my music too?

    best regards

    Steve Appel

  50. Kyle Says:

    Just wondering if I could use your great forest pictures in a flash project for school. I really like them and they would make a great background for a textual information page. Thanks and I love your work.

  51. Rob Says:

    Just wondering if I could use it for school powerpoint with credit of course thx, great picture by the way, best nature picture I counld find.

  52. Huzzy Says:

    why is everyone asking if they could use his picture? i know its copyrighted but the owner isnt even replying yes or no if you could use it.

  53. Ruud Says:

    I (the owner) send a reply to every request, but I always do so by private email. That’s easier for me and easier for the other person, because they don’t have to come back to this site and check for a response. But I’ll make an exception this time, in case anyone else is wondering the same thing.

  54. Chris Frost Says:

    Hi Ruud

    Would you mind if my band used it for a CD cover? We are a new band and haven’t even gigged, so we aren’t selling copies of the CD. Your photo’s are so beautiful that we just couldn’t imagine any other photo being as perfect as yours.

    If, by some wonderful stoke of luck, we are actually in a position to make money from the CDs, we would be more than happy to pay royalties to you.

    Chris

  55. Jesse Says:

  58. Niniel Grey Says:

    Please, I love this picture.
    It gives this feeling of mystery and negativity, which I love.

    May I use this as my banner on imeem?
    Imeem, in case you don’t know, is a site where you can make playlists and stuff.
    my site is: http://profile.imeem.com/umjhkL
    it would replace the cheesy: to those who fight I salute you nonsense.

    PLEASE.

  61. Louie Says:

    Hey dude, can I use one of your pictures for creating a Satyricon (a Norwegian black metal band) wallpaper? Your pictures are just perfect for a black metal themed work of art…it’s so cold and grim…the fog just adds to the grim and evil factor.

  69. Andreas Says:

    Hello.
    I am a cartoonist with an account on an art site by the name of deviantart.com. I was wondering, with your permission of course, if I could upload a picture that included this foggy forest picture as the background. If permission is granted, then I’ll make sure to add where I got the picture from and that you are the original onwer of the image. This is what my picture with your image looks like so far…

    http://s114.photobucket.com/albums/n246/CornholioTheGreat/?action=view&current=TESTcopy.png

    I’ll delete this from Photobucket later.
    If you could respond, that would be great,
    but I don’t want to rush you or anything.
    I shall add your website on the side of the picture to show proof that it came from your site.

    Sincerly,
    Andreas

  70. Heidi Says:

    Hi, I love your pictures! I need to ask you permission to use it as a background for a school project. I will give you credit, of course! And since I probably couldn’t take a photo like that to save my life, I would not be able to take credit for it if I wanted to (which I don’t). Yeah… rambling now. Anyways, is it okay?

    Dear Rudd,

    I consider that your pics are great and thay are transmitting a lot of energy. I work in a NGO in Romania with children and they want to develop a campaign in order to stop the massive exploitation of the Carpathian mountains’ forest. We want to make some flyers in order to inform the general public about environmental values, so I would be extremely grateful if you will let us use the second picture as a background image for our booklet.
    Many thanks!

  90. Tamuz Says:

    Hey- could i please use this Amazing photo for a project i’m doing?
    We have to do a powerpoint on our favourite drama practitioner and we’re doing Beckett, there is a quote from his ‘Molloy’ (’and having heard’ that when a man in a forest thinks he is going in a straight line, in reality he is going in a circle, I did my best to go in a circle, hoping in this way to go in a straight line. For I stopped being half-witted and became sly, whenever I took the trouble. And my head was a storehouse of useful knowledge. And if I did not go in a rigorously straight line, with my system of going in a circle, at least I did not go in a circle, and that was something.) – and i thought the above photo would be a perfect background.
    Please let me know if this is ok, and please keep taking photos- they’re wonderful.
    Thankyou! – Tamuz.

  91. Mia Says:

    Hi there! May I use your upper picture for a photomanipulation? It´s for personal use only. I might put it up on my blog, but I will not make any money. I will of course give you all the credit for the wonderful background picture. If it turns out alright (I´m still a rookie when it comes to Photoshop ;) ) I can send the picture to you by e-mail. Please answer by e-mail.

  92. diabola13 Says:

    These are so beautiful! My father is a photographer, so I have experience with beautiful pictures, but even still…

    Would it be possible for me to use the second one (I really love the angle!) as the header for my blog?

    Once again – amazing work!

  93. C. Macrae Says:

  95. Sam Says:

    I’m interested in possibly using them as part of desktop backgrounds I create–the images wouldn’t be modified, but worked around.

    Would that be alright?

    I’m more than happy to give credit.

  96. Nixi Says:

    I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve used your first image in one of my photos.
    You have every right to ask me to take the image down from that site.
    If this is the case, please contact me on that site.
    Thankyou,
    Nix

  97. a. wikary Says:

    hey there … i love the pics you took of the forest, you must have been in the right place at the right time :) Looks beautiful!! I’d like your permission to use the image as a background for a flyer for a campout that i’m attending. i’d be putting some images on top of it – and it will make the perfect back-scape.

    Keep up the great shots & don’t stop what you’re doing.

    hi i just found your pics. we are putting on a play and i was wondering if i could use your pictures (both) as a back drop projection for a few scenes…

    Hi Brandy,

    Thanks for contacting me. I tried to email you, but I got a delivery failure back. Anyway, you’re welcome to use the pictures as requested. Any chance you could take a photo of what it looks like during the play?

    Cheers,
