Tengger Desert by krt

icedancer: Super capture and colours, OK which way do we go?

LynEve: This has an almost mesmerizing effect - well taken Kevin and being enjoyed on my desktop.

LynEve: Congratulations on your first placement in the contest Kevin :)
It is a lovely image, but not a place I would care to get lost in :)

2nd place
Without by LynEve

Ramad: You have a great imagination and you have shown it often in your posts Lyn. This is a very good manipulation and your explanation is truly touching.

cynlee: A wonderful graphic that gets its meaning just from the presentation.
Well done and good luck.

3rd place
The unfortunate by Zethus

allisontaylor: Definitely a solitary empty mood. Yet the lighting and shadows do invite the viewer to be included.. Excellent thought provoking glimpse into the scene.

coram9: I think this image works so well because of the perspective. You are not a passer by, somehow superior to the homeless man, but you have become one of the homeless, on the cold ground looking out of a box. You make the viewer part of that situation and unable to just walk on by. Well done.

4th place
Shattered by casechaser

Roseman_Stan: I like what you are doing with these John. Truly art. As Jim stated, "Excellent"!!

icedancer: This is a really unique creation and like the colours.

purmusic: Nice one, John.

Thumbnail caught my eye in and amongst the new images.. and here I be.

Interesting to me, in that in employing a warmer palette, which seemingly (and might) contradict the visual message of sorts ... that is, until one reads your accompanying narrative.


Her mouth (area) is a tad more prominent. Curious if by design, creative aim?

And the additional texturing is exquisite. The final image is very polished.


And but of course, thank you for sharing this thought provoking piece with us.


p.s. Any use of displacement maps?

Looks to be, and if not and for your creative future consideration.. here you go, in case unawares:

Loads of other tutorials out there as well, the above one is quite succinct and concise.
