Beautiful work. I like the drama, the sense of foreboding. The colours, the detail, all so good.

This is a brilliant piece of work. I'm not sure how you achieved the dramatic colors throughout the image but they are just wonderful.

@Steve Rice: Thanks Steve, its a HDR conversion toned down using a few techniques in CS3!

Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, France
HDR processing I think.....most of the time I am not very a fan, but I find this very successful realization ! love the mood, the drama sky and the colors ! great work Dave !

@Anna.C: Yep,good spot! I'm not a fan of full-blown HDR stuff myself, I like to tone it down using the channel mixer like I did in this one!

Wow, the effect is giving this a timeless look that is almost too real, nice one.
