And the superhuman crew

Fascinating composition!
Hey guys! Thanks for the comments. Used a couple of tricks on this 1) to keep the sky dome dark, the scene is lit by ambient lights with a radius of about 100 yards -- enough to illuminate the buildings, but not the sky. (Or I could have composited it with a dark sky, but this was more of challenge.) The other thing is that I used Transform>Scale in PS to stretch the scene vertically about 10%. Not sure it's even noticeable, but perhaps the slightly distorted perspective subconsciously adds to feeling of desolation. Anyway, thanks again for the comments. Back to the in-laws. :)
The scene is very Stanley Kubrick, even more so when I see those guys in robes. More than a bit unsettling, but that's the intent!
Very nice image, great job!!!

Beautiful character. Very nice work.

Excellent scene. It speaks to a deeper and possibly tragic story. Definitely a fave.
