I had originally intended to sumbmit another sunrise capture when it came to uploading a new piece. I'd noticed some lens flare so I opened Photoshop to remove it. What you see above is what I ended up doing with the happy, shiny sunrise image.

This is my first foray into photomanipulation of any kind. Not much was done, really; the Sun mutated into a mushroom cloud and the plants and stuff that were in the foreground were removed, to try and give a more proportional sense of scale.

The image was originally taken in the summer of 2005, in the fields that surround my house. As usual, and given a minor facelift at the time of typing: this is in preparation of my gallery shift whereby a lot more is going to end up in the Scraps folder.

Making history (up) is easy.

Thankyou for that; this is the first attempt I've made at anything resembling photo-manipulation so it's good to know that some people like it. Cheers for adding this to your favourites, too.

Heh; if it was, 'twas inadvertant. Just seemed to be an appropriate title for the piece, at the time.
Art thou a fan of Opeth, by any chance?

Damn hot! I've really liked this one from the beginning. The work you do is consistently amazing. Request permission to use as preview for a chapter of The Bunker! (it fits too well, come on).

Groovy. Yeah I guess it's not so bad for a first attempt at such work.
Sure, if that's what you want to do.

Yis It's also my desktop.
In other words I really love this photo. It has a certain style, a morbid, deadly, attention and finesse to it. One really doesn't see work this good very often done anywhere. Awesome value: through the roof.

It's really not all that great, but I'm glad you like it nonetheless.
