I really feel that this would have been so much more moody and effective without the heavy processing and layers. It could have been left more "real" to have greater impact, instead of becoming a type of cartoon - "Dream" and "Harsh" seem to me at odds with each other.Sorry, I know I am coming from a position of anti-high definition photos, and this is very subjective.

Shrinking Natural Environment -- harsh for wildlife

Interesting, but your "planet" effect looks flat...maybe you were going for that idea, but I would have preferred the spherical look.

Into the Fog

I absolutely love this: I can almost hear that silence that hangs around in the fog. The desaturation works so well (if in fact you did desat)...because it emphasises how fog desaturates the world: stripping it of colour,light and sound.

I'm just going to go right out and say it: these extremely long thin images just don't work for me in a challenge situation: after paging through images that fill the page with big bold beautiful pictures, a long skinny, is a shock to the system which has been mesmerised up to that point. Now suddenly I've got to lean in close to the screen and scroll up and down because I can only see part of the image at a time, and so ultimately I get to see an image about 1/8 the size of the rest.

Having said that: I think your subject and composition are brilliant...if this had been a large square image it would have had so much impact.
