This could easily be on the cover of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine. 8

Excellent. I can't help thinking how striking and powerful this would be in a full size version. Great imagination here. Well done!

Very creative and unique. The vertical lines in the orange tones below the building ruin the 'sky' feel for me. A good attempt. Being an ex-architectural drafter, I see the perspective issue of the doors would be falling off the edge beyond. Not many would see that or take the time to feel it out. I really like the guy in the shot as it gives it scale. I really like the sky piece in the upper part.

Very nice concept & well executed except for the smearing in the clouds beneath our castle here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/15/2006 08:49:11 PM
WOW. This is SO cool. I love it. The only thing that's doesn't look perfect to me is the bottom edge of the building where it meets the orange.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/15/2006 05:29:34 PM
so cool! reminds me of an MC etcher drawing, where there's a castle and you can't tell which way is up or down. very nice!

like the idea - but the blurring underneath the 'castle' doesn't quite look right - but very close!

Unusual, and I like some parts of it, but it is a little to busy, IMO...
