I just stopped dead in my tracks as I came across your digital art. HOW FANTASTIC this is. WOW....WOW....WOW....WOW.I am in awe. You are amazing when it comes to digital I wonder could you do the same exactly traditionally or is it both just two separate worlds that should always run parallel to one another but never really meet? Jut curious. Keeping it all Sepia except for the broken down cart, the man, the dog and two horse which stand out on their own merit with you just changing them a different shade....still in the sepia theme but just slightly different.
This challenge you have taken leaves on top of the pile so to speak.....and that is a wonderful place to be.....I see this in the top three if not the winner ....yes indeed. I am so grateful that you share your talents with us especially so I can see how remarkably well you have done....actually OUTdone this. I wanna be just like you when I go up....I want to be a digital artist just like you ..... can you teach me (smile). You should have all your pieces hung in a gallery during an opening for the world to see and comment about and talk about in the weeks to come when they are at the supper table with family or on the subway heading to work or having a drink at the local dance hall or at some big wigs dinner reception where art is the topic of conversation this go round. OUTSTANDING. I love it. BRAVO. Will be back to congratulate you on a win....#3 or #2 or #1.....WHOOOOOO WHEEEEE

Comment from Jomo


A lovely sepia piece - works well as a postcard. Good detail in foreground and city scape in background. Nicely put together. Good luck in the contest.

Wonderful piece! I love the sepia treatment of all but your foreground subjects who are shown in deeper and varied tones. It's nostalgic and endlessly interesting to look at! A wonderful piece for the contest!

Comment from Monica Morrell


Great interest and detail. It very much looks like and old time postcard with theme and coloring.
Great depth and dimension.
It appears to be an abandoned land. Where few still exist. A lonely land with no life.
Sad and powerful image.

Comment from cakemp55


Very impressive! It certainly looks 'old world/old time' especially with the colours used. Wonderful composition, clarity and focus. Love the old city in the background and mountains. Love everything about this image. Well done!!

Comment from michiganmike


A beautiful image. I like the composition with the broken down wagon and the horse. The solitary man and his dog add a human element to the distant urban scene. The sepia tone is perfect. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Nancy Montana


I am not sure where to start with this photo. It has been properly aged so that it could easily be an old post card. The subject matter seems to be the man and his dog, but there is so much more to catch your eye. The picture is full of interesting items that make you want to just study every nook and cranny of the photo. A great deal of effort and knowledge went into the finished product. Very well done.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive strokes & textures. Thanks for sharing...
Best of luck in the contest!
