Would love to see SBS.

like the overall look sort of a pointillist minimalists to the sky

I'm not so fond of sci-fi, but you can turn ordinary sci-fi elements in something special that I like to see... Will the guy be abducted?... GL, author!

Those beams are not from a rescue 'copter! Great story here, author, nice atmosphere.

Very good entry.Great use of sourceimage patterns.

Nicely done, author - did you paint the background with the columns and trees? It's not mentioned in your sbs, nor is there a source listed.

Yes, I painted all background - columns and trees, becouse I don't like to use other's source and I had not someting suitable in my own photo

Well this is beautiful. I really like the effect you have created, and by drawing most of the elements yourself you have created a contrast with the gates and really made them stand out. Lovely work!

Very good entry,and very good work

your knowledge of perspective is really good author, also colours used enhances the beauty of the gate pattern...

Elegant simplicity ... beautifully done.

Lovely! This is the gate to the Snow Queen's castle

Very creative. You are a wonderful artist

Congrats on your fourth place, even though it's not in the top 3, it showed your artistic mind and beautiful execution. Well done, keep going!

Thanks to everybody

Interesting mood!

Really cool! Love the extra elements added.

COOL!!!!! Thanks for using my pics! I always love seeing what can be done with them.

well done

Coooooooooooool

Cool overall. However, the interior spiral's perspective doesn't quite match my expectation of a planet being spherical. (The unbelievably high smokestacks in Source 1 are especially problematic.) And moon-as-disco-ball doesn't really work for me, but it is an interesting idea (that admittedly works fairly well in low-res).

very nice effects author...GL

Many thanks to all for the support!

Great work on this. Has so many atributes that keep your eyes moving all around

nice work author..GL
