wow Top this is wicked! I wish I had a 6 to give ya. very cool how ya did the clouds. makes me think some UFO will come out of there. the angle of the shot of the water and tree skyline gives it an additional wicked special effect. the clarity is excellent. the capture of the light is excellent. the image is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. very creative approach and awesome work overall(clapping)

    Thanks a lot Troop. This is what happens when I have nothing better to do then work on photos. We are on Staycation in Ajijic, Mexico (outside Guadalajara). The weather is perfect, we have a pool that I hit every day and so far there are no reported cases of the virus. So far so good. No shortages of anything but they have shut down restaurants to take out / delivery only. We do have to wear a mask when outside walking to the store, etc. We'll make it through ~ Top

Hey Steve!
Another beautiful work here Steve! The sky is a perfect backdrop to what you have captured in the foreground. The colors are nice and work well with the black and white tones you have showcased. Well done!

The angry sky are the focus of this very impressive mixed media picture. The light colors present some hope; hopefully Poole will be returning to national monument parks soon. Great everything artwork!

Comment from avmurray


This is a mixed media photo With a strong Visual impact, and especially the sky is looking impressive because of Your editing. Still I personally think it is a bit over done.

The dead trees are standing out Sharp and well defined against the background, and I like the contrast between the silver and gold part of the ground. Great light in this photo as well.

The format and framing is very good and it is a very fine Balance in the composition. A truly great looking and well taken photo Steve, and With a very good DOF.

"ANGRY SKIES" I definitely the word I would use for this image. You gave the clouds a very ominous look! It actually looks like a powerful vortex is forming. Maybe the trees weren't dead but had their leaves sucked tight off of them. It looks like the trees are next on the menu! Your image sends chills down the spine! Life just seems to be slipping away! Very Scary and powerful creation! Quite an awesome image of destruction! Steve, you more than deserve a six star rating!!!!! Stay safe and healthy My Friend! :o) Nancy

I really like this one and I used it in the last video. It goes perfect with the song.
this has movement to it and really looks destructive. The photo is awesome but the added effects make it remarkable
well done tarzan

This is an incredible moody/dramatic and angry sky. The dead trees add to the drama. The colours of light and shade are phenomenal in telling a story, very clever editing and photo shop filtering.!

Seems like a very appropriate posting during these virus times! Your dramatic image is a good interpretation of a location I visited back in 2014, in happier times. Nicely created!

Comment from Daphne Oberon


Good color harmony from earth to sky. Don't know how you get all those spikey trees against the digital sky -- you must have really mastered your digital techniques. Not like anybody wants to think upon the fires we had much with all the other chaos going on, but I'll email you a digital effort I did on watercolor pen in the dark when power was of during horrid fires here in N Cal last year... I did the original art in the dark... quite a feat even if I do say so myself! enjoy...
