Eternal Darkness

Awesome image! I like the abstract feel to this. Very on-subject as well. The only thing that bothers me (and this is totally subjective) is the dark at the top. I might try to cut that in half or more, maybe even altogether. Might not work, but it's easy to try.

Well, I just wrote you the worlds best comments on this stunning photo...but then lost it by not voting first and hitting the favorites button, so I will try to duplicate some of the comments now,

This is a masterpiece! The color/lighting is exquisite and sets the mood. The vignetting caused by the smoke (and maybe PS) is perfect and frames the shot nicely. It keeps your eyes wandering around the shot, oogling every little detail. My eye continually shoots up to the people wondering what their story is. Why are they wandering around in this wasteland? Where are they going? I wonder why that shrub was the only thing spared. The border does not detract anything from this shot and I like it. Please let us know more about the story behind this shot after voting is done. I'm sure you will want to anyway as it assuredly will win a ribbon. Either way, this is a portfolio piece for sure. Great job. You have inspired me beyond words.

Absolutely stunning! Almost too close for me...would like to see more above eyes. But that's trivial to this beautiful shot.

Cool! This looks like a very old print. Maybe a cyanotype. I like the color shift.

This has a nice abstract feel to it. I like how the light drops off evenly.
