This is fabulous digital art and I like your choice of black and white. This image has a nice tonal range and makes for a dramatic art work. I like that your art work is telling your story and the barbed Wire is making a strong statement. Nice use of brush strokes and shading and blending of color. This is a creative and talented art work! A good composition and nice is the movement in this piece and nice use of light and shadows and depth. A good contender in the contest and good luck!

Of all things to collect, there is a thriving collectors market for barbed wire. Collected in small segments, about 1 foot or less. Some early pieces I am told command 4 digit prices.

Where this piece of digital art is concerned the wire sets the mood and brings the viewer into the scene very well.

I like the B&W rendition, it makes the minds interpretive juices flow.

The contrast is striking and eye catching.

Well done B-)) Bob

Cool!
That's a pleasantly impressive digital creation,my friend!
The dark strands of Barbed Wire,as well as the monochromatic B & W coloration treatment give the scene an interesting element of mystery!
'Good Show'!

A very fine digital composition. I like the light on the mountain tops and the cactus looking plants on either side of the very sharp barbed wire. Best of luck in the contest.

I love this picture! The barbed wire across the beautiful natural landscape is an awesome contrast. Your choice of black and white is a great one. The framing is very good with the tree and foliage and gives it great depth. The bright light on the snow capped mountains are a great contrast to the rest of the gray tones. Nice job!

Interesting that this is painted. I thought that is a photo. They mountains and the sky, even the tree looks as if you added some clips from photos, did you?
It is a creation which shows the beauty of nature but the impact of man is frightening. Barb wires usually are set up to hide something, to keep illegal doing from getting discovered.
The black and white and the brooding sky emphasize this impression.

    Thank you, Cleo. No, the listing is correct... It is all mine, but I do work in layers. Mostly because I change my mind so many times it's just easier to redo that way. Thank you so much for your time and the beautiful comments.

    Layers is fine, it is just that we are not allowed to use clips of or own photos. :o)

Impressive. To my imagination it looks like the nature is captured in prison. Powerful, sad, makes me think...great job.
