Excellent idea,you have so much creativity! Good composition and storytelling,the color of the flames is in perfect contrast with the dark background. Good luck with the contest!

Comment from Kenneth Dinkel


Very nice. The mood comes across so well. The blended flames with their oranges and reds so mysterious and gives the effect of oil paint. Great Piece!

Comment from Mr Jones


with all your recent troubles, it amazes me with how you produce such high quality work. another fine example of the supernatural and science fiction ways of life (a very personal subject to me). this looks like an exquisite dreamscape stroke fantasy image and one aspect that instantly comes to mind, is the future is burning bright for cleo 85.

    Thank You Mr. Jones. Especially for seeing my future so bright. How I did that? Well, we didn't have city power and Internet but our house has a generator. I can still work when the city power went, we just do not get any communication [Internet, TV, Phone]. Because we do not have any glass fiber cable, we get everything over satellite. When the area power is down our village antenna can't catch any signal. Even some of the cell phones go down.

Interesting title and good explanation. very creative shot. It is amazing how you can create these images with multiple shots, and make them into art . Nice job.

Comment from JosephGilbert


This is a very technically well put together piece.. The colors - the gold from the flames (?) works very well against the black background and it is composed very well. I just don't think the images merged very well into one cohesive whole - it looks (to me) like two separate shots just put together. Talented manipulation of your media though.

    Thank you very much for you kind review and your input. What do you think is merged and were dos it not smooth . where do you see merge lines? Sorry I just checked and couldn't find any. I need help here.
reply by JosephGilbert on 31-Dec-2011
    Hi, no, I didn't see merge lines, its just that I didn't think the images went well together. But just my subjective opinion.

    Oh, that is than the idea of the work. I am affraid I can't change that begging your pardon. Sorry, but on the other hand it would be boring if we all had the same ideas. In my concept these pictures were ideal and I needed almost a year to get them both, after the idea occurred to me, The idea was the time wrap mixed with myths and science fiction stories. Actually it was a take on the scientific view of the Einsteins relative time as the 5th dimension. Einstein mixed with the sorcery of the King Arthur legends.
    I forget to mention earlier. it is not a fire and it is not merged into the photo. It is just a candle the lady is holding with a 1 minute 40 seconds exposure. The King or Sorcerer from long ago covers the candle.

    Thank you very much for your kind review. Would you mine to explain it to me. i would really like to now what is right and wrong in the picture. These numbers won't tell me.
Comment from trailblazer101


Hmmmm. When I saw this as a thumbnail I thought I was looking at that famous NASA photo -- you know--"the pillars of creation".
I was left a bit at sea on this one but I gave it 4.5 because there was some good technical work in spite of lack of theme. It does have impact.

    Thank you very much. The theme is a take of on the the scientific therm of the fifth dimension - the relative time. The collage was made for the Long-Exposure-Contest were the original photos of persons had to be taken at long exposure and exchanged into an mixed media.

Didn't expect this as my mind went in the direction of the music group. Very interesting way to incorporate a blurred low light evening shot. Like how it looks as though the lady is looking at the king.

    Thank you very much. Truth I know about the 60's group, I didn't think exactly of the music group giving the title. I was going for the science part - the relativity of time. The original title is Close Encounter of the fifth Dimension with an take of on both, the scifi movie and Einstein.
