Dear Jason, I've moved our comments from the first version that I have now deleted. It was simply too ragged at the skyline and it was, while interesting, unprofessional. I left it up for a while so that people could see the creative process at work, as evolved. This version however accomplishes what I wanted. Best Wishes, Traveller

Dear Jason: I think that I greatly prefer the 2nd one. I was closing Photoshop and heading out to diner and thought I'd give it another wack...as it was originally intended without a new sky...and it works pretty well now. Yes, Whats Dreams May Come was pretty fabulous...I cried like a baby...softie that I am. Best Wishes, Traveller

One of my most favorite surrealistic effects was in the movie "What Dreams May Come". Some of the sweeping floral landscapes combined with a very liberal use of saturation effects really made the images of heaven captivating. This pair of shots really reminds me of that. Alternate title suggestions: "It's not as long of a trip as you'd think." or "Sometimes you go to heaven, and sometimes it comes to you." ;)
