Description
For such an amazing species that we might be, the gross failing that hinders us is a chronic inability or lack of interest in compromising and working things out. With the incredible gift that we have to build and invent, we squander it on implements of destruction and the liberal use of them against one another. Pondering that, we seem to be a pretty shallow and stupid species most of the time. Too sad.

Top Notch!
Niven's Laws....... "It is easier to destroy than to create." & "Ethics change with technology". ( Larry Niven, science fiction author ) Fantastic image Bill, a fine though 'telling' indictment of mankind. I'm having great fun with Luis's new gear too, working up a bit of action....... ( My favourite Niven's Law is " Never fire a laser at a mirror "...... though hardly appropriate for this image :-)
Great image and good thoughts!
Awesome image and point to ponder.
Yeah... that are images I like. Great light and poses and scene and... well.. it's great. ;-)
Hi Bill, what can I say that hasn`t already been said, beautifully well done.
You have been pumping out some outstanding ground scenes lately Bill. I really like what you have started here, and mention start because I think this deserves some more time considering the terrific posing you have done with the figures, the DOF work and overall composition. I do have two suggestions for this though that I hope you will not mind me suggesting. The first would be to have some buildings off camera to the left to cast shadows across some of the scene. I think that would also improve the look of the rubble. The second would be to up the sun shadow softness to somewhere between 12 and 18%. This is a sure fire Zoom In to appreciate scene people! You are really putting the pressure on us all to do better with our figure posing Bill. : ) 5+
Thanks, Don. I truly appreciate the suggestions.
great image and composition excellent lighting
A fantastic, really well created render mate.. Its a shame that after some many wars, and so many death's, that we seem to going down the same road again.. In almost the same place as twice before.. Good post Bill Rob
