Looks like it is an underwater still from a WWII movie! Very well done, Clive
wonderful work!!!!!
Wow, you "made" it look like its under the water? You pulled it off quite nicely! Well done! I love blues...lol Nice work!
Woo, Distruction device... Awesome image :)
splendid picture!!! a "lighting" masterpiece!!! BRAVO!!
This is outstanding! It not only looks like it's under water, it looks like it's underway! Whatever process is happening over there in your creative brain ... I heartily approve. The soft pastels makes this look like it might be a painting. Truly excellent work, my friend.
exlt postwork
Great work, bill.
amazing work
Great shot and effect! :)
Great lighting.
Extremely clever,Bill! Quite spooky too!
oh, how awesome. No need to dive deep to see this... marvelous work that shows off your skills nicely.
This really turned out great...you did good..:) has a kind of surreal look to it..
Amazing postwork.
Wow---this has a menacing look to it, great work, Bill!!
Quite eerie, it looks like it is in the murkey water.
the illusion of being under water is very strong
your silhouetting & processing, to get a feeling of something shining subtly, in dignity, through the layers of time, gets better & subtler all the time. This has the feel of some of the fine portrait photography of the last century, in the way you highlight and allow light & shape to recede; the torpedo takes on an air of introspection and poetry in your version (as good portrait artists will do), and your postwork not only applies a tad of gentle grain, but you've achieved a radiating effect in the breakup of the light into layers around the torpedo. (I do this all the time in my painting; but you're doing it much more subtly here.) It feels underwater, but also like it's posing in a dream. Very delicate & fine, Bill. More fine postwork from you. (Bill, here are 4 at-random portraits displaying the varying use of light, dark & shade to capture the mystery of a portrait. It's not the deep inner-ness of your torpedo, but it's an example of how shade beautifully shapes the subject, as you ask us to do here with a torpedo. First two by Irving Penn, the last two by Richard Avedon, both masters; and they're all B&W: Here Here Here and Here.)
This is amazing, Bill, you made something new out of the shot and added to the manace imho, so well done!
awesome work as always my friend.
Neato lighting in this capture of the inert torpedo, Bill. Looks like it was underwater. SEALS are on their way to disarm it.
wowwww...Bill that is terrific work...inspiring!!
