Heaven and Hell

Glass cross, surrounded by red hot smoke.

An interesting image with hell being the fire and heaven the blue upper part of the cross. Well, that's my interpretation anyway. The image is very striking because of the colours you have used which stand out against the black background. The cross is interesting in its own right. It looks like wood but then again I get the feeling parts are made of glass. The shot is well framed being perfectly balanced. Creative and very well executed.

WOW Simonka,
This is an awesome work and the title is very befitting.
The color of the top of the cross is the color of the sky, which I believe represents heaven. The bottom
with the fire surely repre-
sents hell. This experiment came out great!
Angelheart :)

I love what you did with the saturation levels and the contrast. Fire and Ice is so dichotomous but I love how you worked that in with color as well

Thank goodness the work on that cross got us heaven and a reconciliation with our heavenly father. It saved us from hell and torment. Good imagination.

I would love to be a mouse in the corner of your computer screen to watch you work. These are some of the most creative and off the wall techniques. The effects of this scene are terrific. The smoke effect is great. The lighting makes the shot.

This is great, interesting and very creative depiction of both. I like the fluorescence of the colors. I think I might have added some fog in it too, but very good job. thanks for sharing.

Comment from stas123ir


Excellent work and very nice experiment. I like composition and colors varying from blue to red. And certainly I like black background which adds interest to the whole composition. The cross is crisp and sharp. As a result of colors changing from blue to red and finally to blackness of background it looks really 3 dimensional. Image has very good initial impact. Thanks for sharing.

Bold, creative, colorful, high impact, great use of non space and a picture to ponder about the duality of life itself and the need for humans to concretize the hereafter. Nice to see some stimulating art

Great color choice - super initial impact - good artistic flow and space use for the cross - perfect DOF - hell is even melting metal away - clearing process - perfect color saturation, great reflections, and detail work, good textures to create your three dimensional effects, well done
