There are storys about three goddesses of destiny throught different cultures. The Greeks called them Moirai, the Romans called them Parces and in Nordic folclore they were called the Norns. Of cause some details differentiate in each version, but what they do and what they are there for remains consistant. For my contribution I found myself inspired by the greek Moirai: The first one, Clotho, creates destny by spinning the thread of life from her Distaff. Lachesis is measuring each person live-thread with her measuring rod and decides about their fortune. Finally, the unavoidable Athropos cuts the thread and thereby ends the life. Also she chooses the manner of death each person expects. I decided that this three spooky ladys should have different ages, since they represent some specific part of life.

Bermuda, triangle, plane, statue, water

kyricom says:

The water is at the shore. It would be about a foot deep where the "god" is.

author says:

Yeah but this god is a midget from the waist down.

The lighting on top of the plane is wrong compared to where the plane is in the sky.

So handsome! (not you author LOL)
I remember the Little Gryphons from that series Merlin (the one with Miranda Richardson as lady of the Lake and Mab) Those ones really creeped me out LOL Great job

author says:

Not me?? Good thing it's not a self portrait..thanks!

JamesD says:

Nice image overall, a few areas that stand out to me are the talons in the ground and the base of the neck on the inside, both need a little more defining imo.
Good job though

CMYK46 says:

Please post your original source photos uncut in the SBS.

author says:

I've mentioned all of my personal sources in the SBS. As for uncut images, I will keep it in mind for future entries. Thanks for the note!

(5 years and 2420 days ago)

CMYK46 says:

You need to show them, not just mention them. From the PXL guidelines: 5.3. Use of Personal Images as Source: If you use your own personal images, the uncut source must be placed in the step by step with an explanation that it is your image.

(5 years and 2420 days ago)

spaceranger says:

CMYK46 is trying to help you. He's quite correct about use of your own photos. You also used a purchased source image:
Rule 5.2. Use of Paid External Images as Source: All source images that you purchased must have a screenshot of the download receipt in the step guide (blackout anything which identifies you to keep the contest anonymous).

author says:

Yeh, my bad, I was reading the general rules and not the photoshop rules.
