A friend of mine asked me to create the cover art for his new album. Of course, this is the version without text.
The image contains 6 different photos of mine taken over the last few years, combined to create a surrealistic & exaggerated "storm of the century" - like image. Nothing was from an outside source other than the brushes used to create the lightening.
Techniques to create the image were all performed in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3.

the orginal was already a beautiful picture. I created the mist in attempt to describe how beautiful its in a mist day (5 years and 3387 days ago)
not bad! the fog looks pretty cool but it seems to me that the image got pressed down somehow in the process of making this image
u mean the "yellowist".
yah
i tried to create a mist in the early morning
thanks
if u did use a gradient overlay for the mist, reducing the opacity might produce better result IMO, good luck!

Well, this one took me quite a long time.. But it was quite simple to make..
I gave the stair a right side by copying and then transorming into shape..
I then took the gate and cut that out using the pen tool, did the same for the mountain.
I put it all together and at the end added some clounds and people which I cut out using the quick selection tool.
I also added a tree but I'm sorry but I cannot find the link to the image anymore..
Hope you like it and Thanks to asifthebes for images 1 and 2. (5 years and 3442 days ago)
GO WEST!!! pet shop boys.. hehehe.. 
I think if you move move the gate over to the left a little more and lighter the tree shadow it will look much better. Imo it feels like something is missing but I can't put my finger on it. Overal it is a well thought out entry. gl
I agree about the tree shadow. Maybe give it a gaussion blur and bring the opacity down. I'm a little confused at the clouds that follow the steps to the right? Also, I would get rid of the top guy that looks exactly like the bottom guy. Fix those and this will be very nice!
Thanks for the advice, it was taken on board
I agree with the shadow, but instead of lowering the opacity the shadow should be broken up with the texture of a cloud. I would also finish masking the arch way and soften the edge of the "mountain" on the right side. Great entry. Good luck!
The brightness of the right front of the tree seems inconsistent with a light source coming from behind the tree. There's an inexplicable notch in the right railing near the top. (Using the Clouds filter to create a mask for the tree shadow might help 'wispify' it.)
This looks great
not to many people getting into heaven lol... nice work author
lol @Keiley22 I wish I could favorite your comment
beautiful ....
Very nice job, only thing that I think of is that the person further up and away is taller than the stair, with perspective in mind, that person must be huge comparing to the person standing closest to us. IMO...Otherwise - really nice job!
sunzet, you are very correct, thanks for the notice ill change it

Oh, I'd like to see a hi-res version...
This is very nice image but i don't see it as surrealism...Every single element is blended very well and all together presents very nice image but without surreal mood...Try to add some pieces that will enhance theme of this contest....
Congrats with a spot in the next round
Good luck on the next round!
