Sometimes, it's great to create an ideal world than to paint naturally what is found in the actual surroundings!

Visually balanced creation in Diminishing perspective.
The Vanishing viewpoint creates nice Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful! I like the black and white rendition. It reminds of those excellent copper plaid of prints of drawings and the earliest photographs in some old magazines and table books. The sharpness of detail in the background is exquisite. The perspective reminds of paintings of old masters like Casper David Friedrich. It is incredible how the small figures of the man and his dog draw the eyes of the viewer always back from exploring the beautiful landscape.

    Thank you, Cleo, and thank you so much for the wonderful rating. Mighty hot here today... 114 degrees. Very unusual for our area. I feel like a wilted vine, lol. Again, thank you!! :))shawn

    My Pleasure!
    It is hot here too. We are 3 degrees above average but for the desert area of South Texas that is not unusual. I have fans in each room and my airconditioning works hard just to keep 80 at my place. ~Cleo :o)

Comment from Jomo


Very nicely done. A good composite seamlessly put together. The light seems to be captured well. Black and white works due to the contrasts in the work.

Comment from corrinas creations


Wowsers, this is rather impressive! Loving the eerie vibe with the black and white yet the landscape itself is very magical rather than spooky. Great composition with the tree and subjects in the foreground. How long does something like this take to put together? Beautifully done, I would love to visit there.

What a marvelous image Shawn. There are so many different elements that go so well together. I simply wish to gaze. Gaze without thought, without identifying anything. Simply allowing the scene to take me where it will. Thank you Shawn for the visual journey ~ Steve

I wish I had six stars six left. This is stunning. I love that leafless tree and the craggy cliff the man and the dog are stands no on. I want to live in that cabin across the lake where I could view that waterfall every single day.

Looks like a lovely spot, but where in the world is it? Your fine composition grants us an enjoyable look at your gorgeous location. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!
