Al the details you add in your work sometimes creeps me out. Even without a title the spirit is clear through the dead people waiting in the abyss, Death approaching from the back, the burning buildings...
All this in nearly one week; you're a top artist Christophe.

Art. Who can debate it. Good excellent lighting there can be no doubt. Disturbing. Thought provoking. We all know the quality of your editing skills. Yet for the life of me I cannot understand the image.Perhaps you are depicting a Romeo and Juliet type tragedy yet in her upside-down-ness she "appears" to be smiling. Your face also does not appear pained in the slightest despite the Grim Reaper destiny awaiting you, perhaps because you are enjoying the last journey together before your time together runs out. High marks will be coming your way, yet I'm concerned they are not due the challenges "Painting" theme. The background scene does indeed appear painted, yet the foreground "subjects" are very crisp and photographic. Not to say that painters don't paint reality, crisp, clear and almost photo-like, but the two mixed appears odd (to me). Without reference to your thought processes and your occasional attempts at mimicking a "real life" artist's work this is my spin on it. Doesn't one just hate critics and 2nd guessers? 7.

How odd, Christophe! I don't think you met the challenge topic.

it still looks like a beautiful photograph... not a painting.


I'm so befuddled.

I'll have to come back and vote later.

ETA: Ok... I'm still weirded out thinking you have entered a DNMC. Since that's so not like you, I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, "Christophe is so knowledgable about so many things... I wonder if 'The Last Journey' is a famous painting and I just don't know about it... He's recreated it. I'll check in the morning... *snooze*"

Well, I googled and found a movie by that title, but not a painting. There was a link to this image on DeviantArt...

Still wondering... Please PM me if I'm missing something. :D
