ohhh wow.. well done gl

I don't know if you didn't put the stakes of the bridge of this side on purpose, but it's only a detail. Very, very impressive work! GL!

Why doesn't the reaper have a right hand?

great work...good luck author

Thank you for commenting. @erikuri: hmm, it'll be better with some stakes, right? So I'm doing on that ^^. @jawshoewhah: he doesn't have foot and face, too :p. However, because of your question, I will make some changes , thank you very much

Fantastic work...i like small details...shadows are very good...good luck author

Great imagination....Nice work...

No SBS? Everything is great, except the shadows. The light sources for the bridge and the city are different in your image.

Congrats for 2nd

Congratulation! I had the same idea but I'm sure I can't do better than you

congrats on 2nd place

Thanks everybody!!

Congrats for 2nd!

Congrats!

Congrats for your second place, DML!

Very good! But you could pu some rust stain on it... Just a suggestion! GL!

thanks for tip erikuri

i think this is a bit too blurry :S, but i like the idea.

blurr was to give felling of hot i guess it doesn´t work

way to blurry, sorry your effect of making it look hot did not work .. you need to make it "heat waves" otherwise nice job.. and GL

thanks Jellopudding, but is not easy make heat waves (at least for me) i have to work on it
many thanks for tips

ooooo much better... you need some treasure chests and maybe add some tried up seaweed some dead fish etc

Yeah Jellopudding is right ! Think of this.. Your entrie is very good now but if you make it more interesting by adding some stuff it becomes WAY better and you may even win this ! good luck

I think this is the winner!

Till Noe i agree with you rangizz !!

love this one a lot

very nice work...need high resolution for sure...and maybe just maybe some other sky...good luck author

Interesting....!

Very nice mood there! Like it!

Surprised this didnt win.

Congrats for your third place, Mariosilva!

congrats

very good on theme chop!!

Yeah it's a good entrie !!

lol very nice

This is a scene more and more frequent in the world... unfortunately...

I love it

Good idea but I'd like to see the boat beat up a bit. Some rotting or discoloured wood.

nice piece of work GL

very nice good luck

Thank you for all the comments, Barnacle, I understand the concept you mean, but I kind of like the clarity of the boat against the desolute land and dead fish...

Great take on theme....GL.....

Congrats!

Birds in background are too obviously mirrored. One would be enough. The shadow on the skull is opposite the light source. There are some dark blobs at lower left that have no relation to the images. Try to examine your composition & light sources and try again.

But....is that water in the background? No water! Good luck!

Edit: fixed

I fixed the shadows of the skull and the tree; I hope it's better now. About the "dark blobs", they are shadows of vultures that are flying above. When there's a carcass, a lot of vultures fly over the place, not only one. Ah, and I finished drying the lake. Thank you!

nice work .. gl author

Depicting drought conditions is not the same as "an entry where water supposed to be the subject" per the contest's theme. And the shadows are a mess: the vulture on the carcass appears to have a shadow under it, to its right, and to its left -- is this a three-sun planet?

Dan: I don't know if you have ever seen, but, when there's a carcass, a lot of vultures fly around the prey, not only one or two... They simply don't appear in the scene (just their shadows) but they are there, flying, waiting thei chance to eat.

Shadows in all different directions? Sorry have to agree this is a mess.

I fixed the vultures shadows; how about now?

Nice try....
