I scored you 10. Whether people like your expert editing level or not... I bet each and every one of them secretly can't wait to see what you produce next.
Was it Albert Einstein who said; "Imagination is more important than knowledge" ? ;) |

I really like this. But how much of it is actual photography?
To me it's (Digiatl Art at it's Best) but not Photography, and isn't that what this website is all about? Photography.

According to my observations, the results highly depends on the material of the sphere and of course its color. With materials that are a bit mat, objects reflected gets blurry very quickly with the distance, which is why I mostly reflected sky colors on the upper part. Maybe I overdid that effect though. Thanks a lot anyway for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it a lot! |
You're attention to detail and your humbleness after winning inspires me. There are really only 2 people that I religiously check online for new work. You and Max Sauco. I thought it was cool that you mentioned him in your DPchat interview.
Congrats again on your win and Thank you for the explanations that you give. |

Ok, i`m not a great fan of digital art here at DPC probably because i`m crap at it.
But by George this is just unbelievable. I didn`t vote but how can anyone score this less than 10.

Well, while these stats are fun stuff, it is always hard to compare such scores (different challenges, different rules sets, different voters, etc). All I can say is that I'll keep entering challenges that inspire me, and I'll try to do my best each time! |

Ha -You are a roll model for sure …
You should be teaching a class in this stuff.

the reflection and shadows seem a bit off ;)
^ Why would I criticize this? Well, I know you strive for perfection and never fail to amaze. But don't want you to get too comfortable ;D
I've been reading about the mind and the best way to improve is for a person to focus on his/her mistakes. e.g. Michael Jordan missed more shots than anyone … hehe.
So going against the grain and telling you something feels off to me here. Meaning I would have given it an 8. Harsh I know ;)

Just two more and you'll have a profile full of 8's. Wonderful image and title. Favourite parts are the distortion and reflection.

| This is stunning. It's exactly the location I'd choose to give birth to a sphere :) It can't roll away!. The post processing, light, shade, shadows, and cloud/sun vortex are stunning. The kiss of light (rimlight) on the fore priest and reduced kiss of light on the rear priests is masterful. Good luck. |

| Brilliantly done, but I shudder to consider that that is a giant celestial birth canal. Conceptually classic, stunning lighting for this genre, right down to the reflections under the ball baby. I'd say the winner in this class. |

| This must be getting a ton of comments. I have viewed it at least 10 times and each time I am in awe. The dessert setting is fantastic for this image to work well. The bare trees in the BG add immensely to the overall feel. Defines the challenge. And done with all the expert detail of a professional movie maker. |

| for me the sphere is to perfect looks like a photoshop graphic, i like the excellent detail in the robes and the sticks in the ground, the work on the clouds is excellent as is the silhouette of the trees and the red tone, had it been a burning sun say then id have scored you higher. 8 |
