Well, thank you all for your very polite comments! Gopankarichal, this was not really Deviantart inspired, but I just have this habit of creating surreal images out of sources one would never expect to turn into a surrealistic entry. Erathion...thanks. Reply »

Pretty well done. Tiny suggestion: I'm not sure if it's the blur or the lens flare, but the top of the tower seems to be a bit blurry/ has less contrast than under. Is it an idea to make the right side of the top of the tower somewhat darker & sharper (by masking away the lensflare from that side, on the left side it's ok), this way you may create more depth and it will stand out more against the background (I guess my eye gets older, but for some reason I thought that the towertop was part of the background, that's why). For the rest appealing result. Good luck! Reply »

Nice moody feel and pleasant enough, but I don't know what I should be focusing on. Also, the landscape seems pretty realistic to me (aside from the miniature foreground tower [or giant background pagoda]), so I don't get the reference to 'surrealism' in your title. Reply »

Widiar says:
I would do bit more work with the foreground tower blending, it looks like it's sunk to the ground and also the perspective with the tree is a bit weird. It looks like the base is in behind the tree or at the same depth, but the upper part is in front.
Overall it IS a bit surrealistic, so I'm ok with the title. Good colours and mood, worth tweaking a bit more. Reply »

Pathway of Darkness - created by Tuckinator
(1 year and 260 days ago)
3 Sources:
DanLundberg says:
Idea has potential, but CMYK46 is right that the upper-left orange-sky light doesn't match the constrained, white right-side light creating the shadow. Furthermore, a "pathway of darkness" that leads to a dramatic sunset is not particularly foreboding. Reply »

lchappell says:
Author very nice work on that street light.. Alan 2641 is right, the lighting and shadow are very well done. Great effect with the bugs to the light, I like how you did that. Your title seems appropriate, I see nothing hinting at foreboding in it . Reply »
(1 year and 260 days ago)
Reply:
DanLundberg says:
Adding the streetlight gives more sense to the lighting (although it might be counter to the notion of 'pathway to darkness'). The bug trails in the light (if that's what that 'bird's nest' is meant to be) seem to be excessive, especially when the longer photo exposure they imply seems slightly inconsistent with the crispness of the moving guy. Visible stars seem unrealistic shining through the sunset, made more so by the lack of stars appearing in the dark upper-right corner. Reply »

Author, there are a couple of pompous asses on this site, who seem to ALWAYS intentionally give negative feedback, hoping to influence the voters. They must have been raised by wolves, because they have absolutely no couth whatsoever. One of you pounces on newly uploaded work like stink on sh**! You two know who you are, and a lot of us wish you'd either mend your ways or go find another sandbox to play in, in fact why don't you start your own?! Some of us try to learn here, and your remarks do nothing to assist in that direction. The work that you two post is nothing fantastic by any means, either, so who are you to criticise others' work the way you do?
I find this chop very nice. The stars in the sky are REAL, it's a photograph. The 'paths' of the lightningbugs are also REAL, that also is a photograph. The shadow cast by the light is done well, and looks realistic. The blending of the sky and lamp I think is also done well. Keep up the good work, author.
And by the way, you two - comments CAN be edited, in case you didn't know - especially if you see that the author has made changes after first uploading. Reply »

lvstealth says:
well, just my two cents... the insects around the light are a bit too many, imo. the light is too high to cast the shadow as is. that is just math. but... the chop is wonderful! i like the mood and the composition. on a side note, i usually find that their observations are accurate and they have a great technical knowledge. and... any comment is much better than none at all... just my opinion.
good luck, i think you have a sound entry, it could be better, as could most, but it is really very good - smiles! Reply »

I like this one! Very moody. But I feel sadness instead of darkness (but thinking well it's all the same...). I agree with lvstealth that if you reduce the insects flying around the lamp it would be better, IMO. And you know you have talent, don't worry! Reply »

Beautiful image...a great surrealistic effect. Would be cleaner if there was perhaps a little more grass emerging from the front of the tree rather than just out to the sides. Otherwise this is probably my favourite entry here, so far. Nice work an good luck! Reply »

Very appealing image, but I don't see the 'revenge' part (critical to the 'nightmarish' requirement of the contest). [Maybe noxious CO2 emissions out the tail pipes?
