DSS 19 -- no deep end this time. Promise.

OK. I promise these won't be an assault on anyone's eyeballs. :rofl

Would you all mind giving me some C&C on these? Thanks!



I tried toning my original idea down but it's pretty blah:

#1 - The Redo



My other options are:

#2



#3

JAG

number 2 has some interesting maniquines. I am not fond of the tree being dead center...but those figures can give lots of opportunities for interesting places and positions.

Of these, I like #2 as well.

That said, I still think the Psychadelic Church of your previous efforts has possibilities, it was only the faces that made it confusing for me. Consider it your Pucci Period and go forth in blazing pop art colours!!

BillyTom

I too like the earlier shots, what if you take #1, make the main shot B&W and have the falling tower in the bright colors....just a thought!!

Velvet-Art

I think if you made just the remaining facade of the church in the crazy colours, and the peeled away part in the original church wall colours it would give the impression that under the dull grey exterior lies a totally psycho colour scheme.

I think that would really be the one.

Just my thoughts,

I think this is a very interesting idea and I also think that maybe you can add a hand, with 2 fingers peeling that facade... :crazy


For the #2 I like that you have both: contrive and natural. Have you tried to make the "natural" part,
just natural? - It can be a nice contrast maybe.... just a thought

I like your original version with the bright colors (just lose the faces). I also like the idea of the peeling away section being black & white with the bright colors underneath. What an awesome idea! I'd love to see you do it!

Another rendition
Thought I'd add a more realistic sky. The birds are nothing more than Photoshop brushes.


Thoughts? opinions?

#1 - B&W sky



#2 - Color sky

This is a winner, Linda!

- in my opinion at least...:)

Thanks, Tatiana!

Velvet-Art

I agree with Tatiana, the new #1 is the one for me, very cool effect.

You know, late last night, after having spent hours on this, I came to the realization that I don't have a caption. And, I don't have a clue where to begin. Off the top of my head, all I've been able to come up with are:

• "The Big Reveal"
• "What Lies Beneath"

Too corny?

BillyTom

How 'bout "Exposing True Colors"?

Hmmm...not bad! Thanks.

As I'm sitting here, I also just came up with "The A-peeling Ediface".

+1 - great job!

The only title I've got is pretty weak, which would be "Inner Soul". I'll keep thinking!

Love this final version. I'd love a blow-by-blow on the processing if you get a chance, because it's really interesting!!
