Description
Parallel universe from the archives, part four...
This was my initial take on "Discovering beauty". While I like the context - the dunes, the grasses, the alien sky - I always thought the moon looked a little artificial, and the POV in the image I posted originally was much stronger. However, I still enjoy this version, and after experimenting with different crops (to take out the moon) and post-processing filters, I decided to show the original unfiltered image, for what it's worth...

Super SCI-FI Image!
I like the lighting in this version very much. The moon doesn't look fake, just BIG! Perhaps she's found beauty at the last minute ... (But perhaps that's just my Earth-centric viewpoint.) Nicely done!
Fantastic sci-fi image! Superb work!!
Excellent render!!!
Great job, brilliant idea
Great storytelling image! Wonderful done!
Looks great to me! Excellent.
Superb sci-fi scene, excellent done.
LOL - I know that feeling of trying to improve a render with crops and filters etc and then deciding to go with the original render after all! Good to know I'm not the only one who experiences this. A beautiful and evocative scene - nice work Craig!
Its one of our better human attributes that we are intrigued by trying to imaging how foreigners, and non-human minds (eg. animals; aliens) might view /think about everyday things from our worlds/lives. Your picture captures this concept beautifully!
This is One Impressive Piece Of Work!....Excellent!
Very nice work...perhaps the moon is just a little too bright and fights for your attention,a slightly softer moon would transfer attention to the figure instead(just my two cents worth!)...very well posed and I like the colour palette!
Excellent image!
~Really fabulously done!~
Cool character.
Really fabulously done! I love the sense of frailty that permeates this image. Everything is nicely balanced, nicely shiny, and just flat out nice. Great stuff. I rather like the moon where/as it is as it seems to provide a counterbalance to the character. The sky is amazing, and the background landscape is stunning. Yeah, I like this.
Great idea and composition, Craig!!! Wonderful view!!!
Yes, I remember this original very well. A very sensitive and beautiful scene. I rather like the moon, I don't think is looks too artificial at all, with the water is fits beautifully. Well done!!!
Incredible work!!!!!!!
This is an amazing character, fantastic lighting and expression my friend, wonderful job!
I like it- wonder what it thinks?
Cool work.
wow... lighting rocks and the concept is excellent
