awww nice grim...it seems you have changed the usual color from blood to blue....it reminds me of some sort or underwater ruin..only that one middle piece is sticking out a bit ..but nice non the less

Very nice background Graeme. I have been looking for these for a long time, but no luck so far:-)

lol the middle bit that sticks out is kind of the focus of the image.. :D iT was a lucky find then i guess darryl :D i was tempted to do a border.. but i liked it full screen.. theres lots of detail to look at :D

yes i agree...this is a really good image i agree with Otake. it wouldve been nice without it too. the pattern on the water looks like the veins ona dragonfly wing. beautiful colours : )

Superb picture. I love the colours. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was an abstract.

thanks very much Avi and Matthew.. :D its got plenty of abstract in it.. but just enough of the original photo remains :)

nice work if ur a beginner

..well im not a beginner.. does this mean my work is rubbish?? i just liked the orignal photo so much i decided not to do that much extra to it.... so what exactly did you mean Tony?

lol! I can translate to you Graeme... I've had some experience with this dialect of english other places that I personally like to call stupidish. ;-) It's not widely spoken in this place I'm happy to say. As long as "Mr-Tony-from-New-Jersey-with-three-posts" doesn't present some outstanding work very soon, unquestionably marking him as the new digital Michelangelo... then this means rather much like nothing and you can hold your head high. Because you know like we all do here at caedes.net that you are a fine artist that make wonderful edits more worthy of calling art than most of our others work. Just my little interprentation. It might present a prob if he is in fact a genius... ^_^

/Klas

Ahhh Klas to my defense :D thank you very much for your very kind words...i make it a rule to not say anything at all if i cant say something postive or constructive... .. i sent the nice man a Pm on the matter but no reply...

Your photography skills are amzing Klas great stuff... and im glad to see your producing some excellent edits too!! :D

Thank you Graeme for the kind words I got in return. ^_^ I really like editing now that I've started to do it. I have quite a long way to go 'til I reach your and Avi's skills but I'm at it. ;-) (I hope so at least...) I've been meaning to make a commenting raid regarding your work. I haven had much time to anything the last week I'm fraid. I simply love what you do. If you can offer some small tip on how you make your edits it would be worth very much to me. ;-)

I have the same rule as you regarding commenting. I'm not surprised you got no reply from that guy though. That kind of people never stand up and explain what they mean if it's not another round of that awful dialect... ;-)

Hmm I didn't like this much the first time I looked at it (which was weeks ago)... but now that I look at it again I don't remember why... the color is really fresh and the composition is good; best of all it isn't so -dark- ... maybe I just wanted to see more detail... anyway I like it now and that's all that matters. I -love- fossils too so that helps :-)

lol.. fickle sam :D well im glad that you liked it in the end ;)

Nice. At the same time like underwater and like a glasspainting. ...and yes. the thingi in the middle looks a bit weird..
