At least you wont regret to have made it. I think it would have done well at the contest. It is unusual and triggers the imagination of the viewer. Somehow I get the feel to looking at a szene someone had painted on the wall of a cave while Cast Away. if I turn I will see the real landscape but nobody else will be there.

    No I don't regret it at all. I very often make 2 or even more entries for the same contest. It is a lot of work, but I don't always know beforehand what will work best. Good practice as well.

    I think that is true for all of us who are serious about their art.

Very nice work. Like the many thorough details and the fact you are a thorough artist who pays great attention to details. The work looks great, and colors. Like the caption.

I do like this as well maybe even more due to the cracked paint effect. nice depth and textures, like the frayed framing technique, nice composition, well centered and framed

This is a lovely image, lovely silhouette image. The caption on this one is really good too. Your final choice was the best one IMO :-)

The water, the cave and the cracked paint somehow do not come together for me. I would have so liked the scene better without the paint. I love the scene looking out of the cave into the well lit water. Focus is good and has good depth. Showing textures of walls and stones. Good initial impact and would make a good scene for a story. Nice framing and positioning.

Itīs a very evocative image and the image of coming out of darkness into light is quite powerful! Rich, strong colors yet muted. Great story telling ability and initial impact. The lighting is very good! Really like the image.

This is a lovely composition. It is always frustrating when you end up with more than one possibility for a competition. I am very glad you shared this. I like your caption which fits the scene you have created so well. I love the way that you have processed this, especially the frame-within-frame. Nice work as ever.

Comment from theqbhawk


I was wondering about the process of this creativity presentation, as it looks like a new process or combination of processes

The framing is Great..

Thanks for sharing it for reviews
