Waiting, Watching, Wishing by Jynxxd

89037: Very interesting and creative work!...good luck in the contest!

zunazet: Simply awesome!

tndr: Favorited! I love it!

purmusic: Thanks for the visual cue to take the tour of your galleries. Saw your name before and some of your images/uploads. You have a varied and great gallery, well worth the tour. :o)

Back to your image here..


A good good manipulation. Caught my eye in and amongst the new images and here's I be.

Strong composition.

Great use of colour and the posturing portrayed is excellent. Well suited on the notes of composition and concept. And as mentioned above, well done on the lighting aspect.


Caveats?

Small niggle, at best.

The wall of stone on the right-hand side's textures. Perhaps that of change in Blending mode and/or reduced Contrast might provide the lil' assist to compliment it's adjacent left-hand side.

That nonsense of mine aside..


Wonderful work.

Annnd..

4th place
The Fog is Lifting by palral

billyoneshot: The lighting is really special in this one, but I like how you kept the details in the shadows through the fog.

b8264d: Congrats on your finish! Beautiful image by the way.

luckyshot: RogerDot - This is how I felt when I woke up this morning! The fog serves as a reverse haze filter, adding fuzziness and hiding details which is kind of cool. With taking the photo with sunlight directly in the image, there is some banding and blowout in the upper right corner. Shifting the view to the slightly left could have minimized that, provided that scene was acceptable. Thad
