Darkest Hour

The sky is real with effects added. The figure was digitally painted in. Thanks for looking everyone.

Watercolor look. I love the elements composing the dramatic sky. The mist and details of the hillocks, trees, and field are intriguing. The silhouette wrestles a tad with the sky...landscape for attention and dictation of mood. Nice work

Wonderful work! Well done! Thanks for taking the time to show me the crop you had in mind - appreciated!

Very nice. It has some sort of scifi/western feeling. Bet it looks great in printed.

very good composition,great ps.work and story.congrats

super image, wonderful PS work very well done.

Rich.

Extremely powerful & Spanish-flavored in composition & color tones. I love the position of the man well off-center and facing the ominous sky. Dark band at the bottom increases the drama.

Feel so sinisterly haunting. Nice effect on the sky.

Really beautiful work, Joseph!

This would be perfect as the cover for a thriller, Joseph.

Excellent creative work, Joseph. It could be a cover-page for a thriller,as suggested by Paula or a historical-novel titled "Last days at St.Elba".

What a great effect. Truely dark and mysterious.

Very dark, even ominous atmospher Joe.The human figure adds to it as well as the touch of color,.nice effective expriment.

 

Joe, thanks for your email,be my guest!

 

Amazing treatment. Well done. Best regards from Galicia (Spain)

Very artistic and creative, moody and mysterious, Joseph. Best regards Dimitris.

You have very dramatic elements in your composition ,jet you keep it simple together to highlight the idea of isolation ,a totally wintertime scene , well done on the artistic part Joe.

Very good pictorial effect, very good PS work! Best Regards. Glauco

Joseph, this is great. The lighting on the figure is obviously different to the lighting in the scene, but that makes him stand out as if he's looking into the scene from another picture.

Oliver

Outstanding piece of photo art Joseph with impact.

The technically perfect use of the effect creates an excellent artistic result.

My congrats for your creative work.

 

Excellent work, Joseph. One of my favoutrites. Warm regards.

This would be a cool movie poster. I like how the clouds puff up like smoke signals. The watercolor effect works well here.

Impressive, I searched among the images of last March and I found this. Great coincidence. Best wishes. Vicente
