Description
Inspired by khomaOf course I dont hold a candle to what he does, but I would like to pay a tribute.
Its a rework of his tracks piece that I love for some odd reason. This may suck - but go check him out. Its worth it I promise you.

Photography just doesnt feel as creative as it should. I dont feel like I really put any work into my pieces. I wanted to create something that took a lot of time and effort into getting right. This is about 3 hours work (suprising isnt it). Most of it spent trying to get the darkness level right to create the mood, along with the contrasts.
hope you enjoy my little wanderings

This is really striking if nothing else. The black splatter may be just a little inconsistent and too heavy across the top, and I might want the two halves to connect in a more ostensible way, but at first glance, it's a startling image.

This is just flipping amazing. Good concept... excellent execution (though not perfect.. somehow the line between the red and grey doesn't look right.. a little noisy I guess.. but that's extreme nitpicking).. and a new favorite of mine.

I'm really really liking this man... the thumbnail really doesn't do this any justice, but I wouldn't expect less of you. Great job creating another world.

The sky spits tar. The grasses fire back with the eternal souls of a million fallen men.
And the mountains stand guard, flowing with their own fires and dirt, expecting nothing but continued struggle and strife.
Awesome work dude, definitely earns you your username.

dude, thats pretty sick. i love the aging you did to the photo. Man, the clouds are awsome, and the entire seen just blows me away. Like i've said before, i can see a lot of Ansel Adams style in this, even if thats not what your going for. The coloring is really cool, but i'm curios to see what it was like before the coloring.
O, i know what you mean by putting work into it and everything. I sometimes make prints that take multiple tries in the darkroom (im old school, no digital for me), and they don't come out particularly well. Then i'll do another that is done on the first try, and it is damn near perfect. But it just feels strange that it was so easy. Once took me like 8 tries to get the darkness right on a time exposure print (i was using full sheets of fiber bases paper EVERY time), and i finally got it to look good. It was very satisfying once it was done, but it still could use some work.

I love the contrast of the blue and red. They look good together. The splotches are cool, makes it feel misprinted. nice manip

The reason it feels so easy is because all you do is find a pretty view and press the button. You've got acres of time to compose and set up the shot. Hell,you can leave and come back tommorow to make sure the lighting is right.
That said, photography isn't thast hard anyway.

Amazing contrast with those colours... It looks like something out of an imaginary vision.....

why does this remind me of Dantes Peak? its like hell except...not. The ground is burning and the sky is dark.
I LIKE IT! ^^

Nice way to complement the darker tones of the sky using the grunge brushes. I also enjoy how the clouds form angled lines pointing toward the mountain, creating both a sense of depth and guiding my eyes downward across the frame. I wish the ground weren't so blatantly red, however. This contrast between colors could have been your intention, but I feel it takes away from the delicacy of the blue hue. Maybe the shot could have benefitted from a more desaturated red color, if any red at all. I like the pic, though.
